To have the fear of the Lord which is reverence of the Lord is to begin to know the Lord. When you have reverence for something or someone you get to know that person or thing on an intimate level. A fooliah person will not care to know God intimately. A foolish person will not receive instruction to guide them through their life. Wisdom is acknowledging who God is, fear him, follow His ways and not your own. Our instructions may seem right, but it is important to know God, love and respect God and not be foolish and not listen and honor God. You may see the word and it meaning to be afraid or frightful, but this context is showing the reader to have fear of just beginning to know God and seeking His ways out. Knowledge of God will get you farther along in life, but destruction will come to the one that does not have to be afraid for his or her life, but have a deep knowledge of who God is and worship Him and him alone. He gave His life for you, so do not be foolish and acknowledge God with great reverence.
