Apa itu takut kepada Tuhan? Ketakutan Tuhan adalah permulaan kebijaksanaan,
dan pengetahuan orang suci adalah pemahaman
Ketakutan Tuhan adalah permulaan kebijaksanaan:
a good understanding have all they that do the Lord’s commandments:
His praise endures for ever
Ketakutan Tuhan adalah permulaan pengetahuan:
tetapi orang bodoh menghina hikmat dan didikan
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility
Ketakutan Tuhan adalah membenci kejahatan: Pride, dan keangkuhan, dan cara jahat,
dan mulut froward, does God hates
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever:
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether
Takut akan Tuhan adalah mata air kehidupan, menjauhi jerat maut
The fear of the Lord tends to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied;
he shall not be visited with evil
The fear of the Lord prolongs days:
but the years of the wicked shall be shortened
In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence:
and his children shall have a place of refuge
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith
Dengan belas kasihan dan kebenaran, kejahatan dibersihkan:
dan dengan takut akan Tuhan manusia menjauhi kejahatan
By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, dan penghormatan, dan hidup
Let not thine heart envy sinners:
but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off
(Mazmur 19:9; 111:10, Peribahasa 1:7; 8:13; 9:10; 10:27; 14:26-27; 15:16, 33; 16:6; 19:23; 22:4; 23:17-18)
