The Fear Of YAHWEH - The Yare Of YAHWEH
What is the "Fear Of YAHWEH"?
What can the Fear Of YAHWEH do for you?
SIRACH 25:4-11
4 What an attractive thing is judgment in gray-haired men, and for the
aged to possess good counsel!
5 How attractive is wisdom in the aged, and understanding and counsel in
honorable men!
6 Rich experience is the crown of the aged, and their boast is the fear of
YAHWEH.
7 With nine thoughts I have gladdened my heart, and a tenth I shall tell
with my tongue: a man rejoicing in his children; a man who lives to see the
downfall of his foes;
8 happy is he who lives with an intelligent wife, and he who has not made
a slip with his tongue, and he who has not served a man inferior to himself;
9 happy is he who has gained good sense, and he who speaks to attentive
listeners.
10 How great is he who has gained wisdom! But there is no one superior to
him who fears YAHWEH.
11 The fear of YAHWEH surpasses everything; to whom shall be likened the
one who holds it fast?
MISHLE - PROVERBS 6:23
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the torah is light; and reproofs of
instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange
woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her
eyelids.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the
adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
IYOB - JOB 28:28
28 And to man he said, Behold, the fear of Sovereign YAHWEH, that is wisdom; and
to depart from evil is understanding.
MISHLE - PROVERBS 16:6
6 ¶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of YAHWEH men depart
from evil.
IBRIM - HEBREWS 11:7
7 By faith Noah, being warned of YAHWEH of things not seen as yet, moved with
fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the
world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
SIRACH 19:20-21
All wisdom is the fear of YAHWEH, and in all wisdom there is the fulfilment of
the torah.
But the knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, nor is there prudence where
sinners take counsel.
