7 Fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge;

wisdom and instruction, fools despise.

Foolishness’ Banquet

10 The start of wisdom is fear of Yahweh,

and knowledge of the Holy One,* insight.

33 Fear of Yahweh is the instruction of the wise,

and before honor comes humility.

16 Better is little with the fear of Yahweh

than great treasure and trouble with it.*

13 The fear of Yahweh is hatred of evil,

pride, and arrogance and an evil way.

And I hate a mouth of perversity.

4 The reward of humility is the fear of Yahweh—

wealth and honor and life.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear Yahweh and retreat from evil.

8 There shall be healing for your flesh,*

and refreshment for your body.

30 Charm* is deceit and beauty* is vain;*

but a woman who fears Yahweh shall be praised.

13 Now that all has been heard, here is the final conclusion:

Fear God and obey his commandments,

for this is the whole duty of man.

10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom;

all who do them* have a good understanding.

His praise endures forever.

The Path of the Righteous and the Path of the Wicked

1 Praise Yah!*

Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh;

he takes great delight in his commands.

Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears Yahweh

1 Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,

who walks in his ways.

18 Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him,

on those who hope* for his loyal love

7 God will bless us,

and all the ends of the earth will fear him.

2 But for you who revere* my name, the sun of righteousness will rise, with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like fattened calves.*

12 And now, Israel, what is Yahweh your God asking* from you, except* to revere Yahweh your God, to go* in all his ways and to love him and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,*13 to keep the commandments of Yahweh and his statutes that I am commanding you today for your own good.*

4 You shall go after Yahweh your God, and him you shall revere, and his commandment you shall keep, and to his voice you shall listen, and him you shall serve, and to him you shall hold fast.

21 And so* because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.*

Paul’s Joy at the Corinthians’ Repentance

1 Therefore since we* have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of body and spirit, accomplishing holiness in the fear of God.

7 Pay to everyone what is owed: pay taxes to whom taxes are due; pay customs duties to whom customs duties are due; pay respect to whom respect is due; pay honor to whom honor is due.*

14 "Loyal love* should come for the afflicted from his friend,

even if* he forsakes the fear of Shaddai.
