One single mistake
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Proverbs 1:7
“The search for knowledge can go wrong, not as a result of individual, erroneous judgments or of mistakes creeping in at different points, but because of one single mistake at the beginning. One becomes competent and expert as far as the orders in life are concerned only if one begins from knowledge about God.”
Gerhard von Rad, Wisdom in Israel (Nashville, 1972), page 67.
