'Chief' in the Bible

She calls out at the head of the noisy streets [where large crowds gather];At the entrance of the city gates she speaks her words:

Which, having no chief,Overseer or ruler,

The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence],And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding and spiritual insight.
