In proverbs 2, the preacher says:
Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom;
set your heart on a life of Understanding.
That’s right—if you make Insight your priority,
and won’t take no for an answer,
Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold,
like an adventurer on a treasure hunt,
Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours;
you’ll have come upon the Knowledge of God.
The one who studies the Word of the Lord, who is serious about searching for Wisdom, will realize at some point of his life that he has the Fear-of-God. Most of people don't care about the Word and don't understand what displeases the Lord.
There are blessings for the one who gets wisdom:
20-22 So—join the company of good men and women,
keep your feet on the tried-and-true paths.
It’s the men who walk straight who will settle this land,
the women with integrity who will last here.
The corrupt will lose their lives;
the dishonest will be gone for good.
