but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
What does it mean by fear of the Lord, the God who is also your father who loves you. It is hard to describe this feeling, but I think to describe this in a simple way, He is like imagine someone you really respect on earth, could be your father or your teacher, you love him, yet you feel "awe" being with him because he is just so amazing and you feel awe because you simply don't want to do anything stupid in front of him or disappointed him.
When we fear of the Lord, acknowledge His power and His present, we will start being alert in our life, and that is the beginning of wisdom.
Though, watch out deceivers, they will try to entice you, because they want to feel better to what they have done by comparing others. If everyone is doing what they do, they feel better, if not, they will try to entice you to join their path. So watch out.
"My son, if sinners entice you,
do not give in to them." (v10)
And the consequence is:
"they (those who does not follow) will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes...
...but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm"
