Tao Bible - Proverbs 9:10

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
~ King James version ~

The reverence of Tao is the beginning of wisdom: and a knowledge of nature is understanding.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
In this instance, we have different sentences that say about the same thing. In my mind's eye, the big difference is that Solomon focuses on a thing (an entity), while Taoists focus on a process or principle.
