Ecclesiastes 5:7

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

that you might fear Yahweh your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

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

Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

“Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?

So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

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

For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you.

To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’ ”

Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”

But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;

For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

“I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?

He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.

“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don’t let me wander from your commandments.

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

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.

A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?

Tell the righteous “Good!” For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Don’t you fear me?’ says Yahweh ‘Won’t you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can’t pass it? Though its waves toss themselves, yet they can’t prevail. Though they roar, they still can’t pass over it.’

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

But they worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.

no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?

Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

A voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”

But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!

The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.

Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold of folly, until I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their lives.

It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also don’t withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will come out of them all.

Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening don’t withhold your hand; for you don’t know which will prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both will be equally good.

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”

the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

Don’t let your heart envy sinners, but rather fear Yahweh all day long.

I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.

For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?

I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
