Commentary
Wisdom hates what God hates (cf. 6:16-19; Ps. 5:5). The highest virtue is humility (submission to God), and thus wisdom hates pride and self-exaltation above all.

MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Pr 8:13). Nashville: Word Pub.

"The Fear of the Lord"
The phrase takes into account a lifestyle in which people take seriously an all-wise, all-powerful, and all-righteous God who holds them responsible for their behavior.
