Proverbs 8:13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The fear of the Lord Which he had before said to be the beginning of wisdom; is to hate evil It consists in a careful abstinence from all sin, and that not from carnal or prudential motives, but from real hatred to it, on account of its contrariety to the divine nature and attributes, its opposition to God's word and will, its infinite evil in itself, and its eternally destructive consequences; pride Which he mentions first, as that which is most hateful to God, and most opposite to true wisdom, and to the genuine fear of God, which constantly produces humility; and the evil way All wicked actions, especially sinful customs and courses; and the froward mouth, do I hate False doctrines, and bad counsels, and deceits.
