Proverbs 2:5
then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God.
BSB
ASV
Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
KJV
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
Solomon says, "You will find a divine sense."

The promise. The highest blessedness is to know God Joh 17:3. If any distinction between “the Lord” יהוה yehovâh and “God” אלהים 'elohı̂ym can be pressed here, it is that in the former the personality, in the latter the glory, of the divine nature is prominent.
