“The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverse mouth I hate.
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility.
By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.
The fear of the Lord leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.
In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.
The fear of the Lord prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.”
{Psalms 19:9; Proverbs 8:13; Proverbs 15:33; Proverbs 22:4; Proverbs 19:23; Proverbs 14:26-27; Proverbs 10:27}
