Original text and translations
German text
Die Furcht des Herren ist der Weisheit Anfang;
das ist eine feine Klugheit; wer darnach tut,
des Lob bleibet ewiglich.
English translation
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:
a good understanding have all they that do thereafter;
the praise of it endureth for ever.
