12 “Now, O Israel, what is Jehovah your God asking of you?+ Only this: to fear Jehovah your God,+ to walk in all his ways,+ to love him, to serve Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul,*+

28 And he said to man:

 7 The fear of* Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge.+

Only fools despise wisdom and discipline.+

28 And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;*+ rather, fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Ge·henʹna.*+

17 Honor men of all sorts,+ have love for the whole association of brothers,*+ be in fear of God,+ honor the king.+
