The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah:

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil.

Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.

For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And 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, That one may depart from the snares of death.

Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.

The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor goeth humility.

By mercy 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 abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.

The reward of humility and the fear of Jehovah Is riches, and honor, and life.

Let not thy heart envy sinners; But be thou in the fear of Jehovah all the day long:

The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.
