7The Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. They said, Woe to us! for there has not been such a thing heretofore.

8Woe to us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness.

9Be strong, and behave yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.

20The men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

7When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

8The children of Israel said to Samuel, "Don`t cease to cry to Yahweh our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines."

1There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.

20Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped.

21He said, "Naked I came out of my mother`s womb, and naked shall I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh."

22In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

8Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."

9Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?

3Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."

9Then his wife said to him, "Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die."

10But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job didn`t sin with his lips.

6Isn`t your piety your confidence, The integrity of your ways your hope?

17"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

10Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.

14Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, let us not perish for this man`s life, and don`t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."

16Then the men feared Yahweh exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yahweh, and made vows.

5Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.

9He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."

2He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn`t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and you repent of the evil.

29Because they hated knowledge, And didn`t choose the fear of Yahweh.

7The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

27The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

26In the fear of Yahweh is a secure fortress, And he will be a refuge for his children.

27The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, Turning people from the snares of death.

16Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, Than great treasure with trouble.

5Then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, And find the knowledge of God.

7Don`t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

13The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

10The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

10The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! Psalm 112

1Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

2He who walks blamelessly, does what is right, And speaks truth in his heart;

3He who doesn`t slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his friend, Nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

4In whose eyes a vile man is despised, But who honors those who fear Yahweh; He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn`t change;

5He who doesn`t lend out his money for usury, Nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken. Psalm 16 A Poem by David.

10Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

11Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

12Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. Psalm 3 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom, his son.

12What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

13His soul shall dwell at ease. His seed shall inherit the land.

14The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

8Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

9Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, For there is no lack with those who fear him.

10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, But those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.

11Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.

12Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?

13Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

14Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

4For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But Yahweh made the heavens.

6Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
