I love this timely verse...on many levels. Hating knowledge and fearing Lee and “the brothers” instead of, or more than the Lord, has it’s own fruit. We see it everywhere.
The reward for fearing the Lord is everything we desire for ourselves and our families, in the place where we live.

Great verse! It's a jaw-dropper how many verses/stories/warnings in the Old Testament have such clear parallels to the LC. I have seen "the brothers" fearing unrighteous men rather than the righteous God one too many times. And don't get me started on the fact that they call knowledge "of death".
But as much as I've experienced a lot of pain from the LC, it still frustrates me that I am sad that they will "have the fill of their own devices". I wish there was something concrete that could be done to save them from having to eat the fruit of their way.
