Caleb, I agree with you totally about the importance of the last line. But for me, it's position is what gave the final statement the most emphasis. It loses it's oomph when I read it in reverse.
I'm not trying to be argumentative about this. I just find it perpetually interesting how, for different people, different wordings and even placement communicate different things. And I wanted to add my 2 cents about how the order communicated to me.

I agree, although I'd invert the order, for "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One understanding."
Good point. I did begin with the verse and work down/up from there.
