Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 15:33

"The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor [goeth] humility." — Proverbs 15:33 (ASV)

The fear of the Lord will dispose us to search the Scriptures with reverence; and it will cause us to follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit. While we humbly place all our dependence on the grace of God, we are exalted in the righteousness of Christ.
