The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: fools despise wisdom and instruction.

I also will laugh in your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh;

when your fear cometh as sudden destruction, and your calamity cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you:

Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of Jehovah;

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be at rest from fear of evil.

then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh;

The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the Holy is intelligence.

The fear of a wicked man, it shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.

The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.

Better is little with the fear of Jehovah than great store and disquietude therewith.

The fear of Jehovah is the discipline of wisdom, and before honour goeth humility.

By loving-kindness and truth iniquity is atoned for; and by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.

The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall rest satisfied without being visited with evil.

The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah is riches, and honour, and life.

Let not thy heart envy sinners, but be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day;

My son, fear Jehovah and the king: meddle not with them that are given to change.

The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his confidence in Jehovah is protected.
