¹¹ And Abraham saith, `Because I said, `Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake of my wife;

⁷ and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, `She `is' my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, `My wife -- lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she `is' of good appearance.'

¹² and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This `is' his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:

⁶ In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil.

¹⁵ the former governors who `are' before me have made themselves heavy on the people, and take of them in bread and wine, besides in silver forty shekels; also, their servants have ruled over the people -- and I have not done so, because of the fear of God.

¹⁸ And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, `This do and live; God I fear!

¹⁸ There is no fear of God before their eyes.'

¹³ The fear of Jehovah `is' to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

⁷ Fear of Jehovah `is' a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and instruction fools have despised!

¹ To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes,

³ The words of his mouth `are' iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.

⁴ Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

⁴ Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

²⁸ And He saith to man: -- `Lo, fear of the Lord, that `is' wisdom, And to turn from evil `is' understanding.'

¹ A man there hath been in the land of Uz -- Job his name -- and that man hath been perfect and upright -- both fearing God, and turning aside from evil.

¹² and He saith, `Put not forth thine hand unto the youth, nor do anything to him, for now I have known that thou art fearing God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, from Me.'
