1 Page 1 THE USE OF THE PHRASE, THE FEAR OF THE LORD IN PROVERBS The fear of the Lord is the most basic truth found in the book of Proverbs. As one can see from reading the references, unless one has fear of the Lord he will not have any wisdom, knowledge or understanding. Also, when we look at the collection of verses concerning the fool, we see that the fear of the Lord is critical if one is not to become a fool. This fear of the Lord was learned in association with God s Law as is stated in Deuteronomy 31:11-12 and other passages. While the modern emphasis is upon translating this Hebrew word as reverence, that is only a result of the meaning of this word. It s basic idea is fear or terror. Such an attitude towards God recognizes that blessings flow from fearing the Lord and curses result from not fearing the Lord. It is clear that, if a person desires to have a full and meaningful life and receive the blessings God has for him, he will develope a fear of the Lord and live according to the Lord s instructions. Strong s Lexicon (Defintitions copied from Strong s Lexicon) 3374 From 3373; TWOT 907b; GK 3711; 45 occurrences; AV translates as fear 41 times, exceedingly twice, dreadful once, and fearfulness once. 1 fear, terror, fearing. 1A fear, terror. 1B awesome or terrifying thing (object causing fear). 1C fear (of God), respect, reverence, piety. 1D revered. Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (TWOT) (Definitions copied from TWOT) In this discussion, biblical usages of the Hebrew word are divided into five general categories:1) the emotion of fear, 2) the intellectual anticipation of evil without emphasis upon the emotional reaction, 3) reverence or awe, 4) righteous behaviour or piety, and 5) formal religious worship. Major OT synonyms include several words referring to shaking or quaking as a result of fear. In several passages, fearing and proper living are so closely related as to be virtually synonymous ideas (Lev 19:14; 25:17; II Kgs 17:34; Deut 17:19). It is plausible that this usage of to fear as a virtual synonym for righteous living or piety grew out of viewing fear in any of the senses above as the motivation which produced righteous living. This practical, active fear is the kind of fear for which God rewarded the Egyptian midwives (Ex 1:17, 21). This kind of fear was most appropriately learned by reading the Law (Deut 31:11 12). One righteous deed repeatedly and emphatically associated with fearing God is kindness to the stranger or resident alien (e.g. Deut 10:18 20; 25:18). There are a few passages in which fearing seems to mean being a devotee or follower. This usage could reflect either usages 4 or 5 above. Possible verbal examples are found in Job 1:9 and II Chr 6:33. Fear of various sorts may be caused by God s great deeds (Ex 14:31; Josh 4:23 24; I Sam 4:7 9), by judgment (Isa 59:18 19), and God s law (Deut 4:10) as well as by various human agencies (I Sam 7:7; 15:24) The God-fearer will implement his fear in practical righteousness or piety. Job, as a God fearer, avoids evil (Job 1:1). In Ps 128:1 the fearer of the Lord walks in his ways. The fear-ers of the Lord may be those whose particular piety is evidenced by a response to God s message. The fearer of God is contrasted with the wicked (Eccl 8:13). It is desired that office holders be fearers of God (Neh 7:2). Blessings are provided for fearers of God: happiness (i.e. blessed ; Ps 112:1), goodness from God (Ps 31:19), provision of needs (Ps 34:9), protection (Ps 33:18 19, overshadowing mercy (Ps 103:11), and promise of fulfilled desires (Ps 145:19) The fear of the Lord may refer to the emotion of terror or fear (Ps 55:5; Ezk 30:13). This terror may be put into men s hearts by God (Ex 20:20; Deut 2:25). Isaiah 7:25 uses the term for an unemotional anticipation of evil. When God is the object of fear, the emphasis is again upon awe or reverence. This attitude of reverence is the basis for real wisdom (Job 28:28; Ps 110:10; Prov 9:10; 15:33). Indeed, the phrase sets the theme for the book of Proverbs. It is used in 1:7: recurs in 9:10 and thirteen other verses. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil (8:13), is a fountain of life (14:27), it tendeth to life (19:23), and prolongeth days (10:27). Numerous passages relate this fear of God to piety and righteous living: it motivates faithful living (Jer 32:40). Fear of God results in caring for strangers (Gen 20:11). Just rule is rule in the fear of God (II Sam 23:3). Fear of the Almighty does not withhold kindness from friends (Job 6:14). Economic abuses against fellow Jews were contrary to the fear of God (Neh 5:9). The fear of the Lord turns men from evil (Prov 16:6).
2 Fear of the Lord can be found fifteen times in the book of Proverbs as well as numberous other references in the Old Testament. We will study the fifteen times fear of the Lord is used in the book of Proverbs. You will notice that, as the verses are printed out for our use, they will have Strong s numbers marked over a number of words in the verses. These will be included for those who desire to delve deeply into the meaning of what God is telling us. Later, in our study of Proverbs, we will consider the meanings and uses of the words which you find numbered in our study. It is hoped that, after learning the process we will use it to study the use of fear of the Lord in Proverbs that some may wish to follow the same process and study the other uses in other Old Testament books. One way these verses can be organized into a structure for understanding is as follows: DEFINITION OF FEAR OF THE LORD Proverbs 1:7 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is the beginning of knowledge 1847 : but fools 191 despise wisdom 2451 and instruction Proverbs 9:10 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is the beginning of wisdom 2451 : and the knowledge 1847 of the holy 6918 is understanding 998. Proverbs 15:33 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is the instruction 4148 of wisdom 2451 ; and before honour is humility. Proverbs 8:13 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate <8130>. HOW TO ACQUIRE FEAR OF THE LORD Proverbs 2:5 Then shalt thou understand 995 the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068, and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear 3372 the LORD 3068, and depart from evil. Page 2 BENEFITS OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD Proverbs 10:27 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Proverbs 14:26 In the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. Proverbs 14:27 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 is a fountain of life to depart from the snares of death. Proverbs 15:16 Better is little with the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 than great treasure and trouble therewith. Proverbs 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 men depart from evil. Proverbs 19:23 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 tendeth to life and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. Proverbs 22:4 By humility and the fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 are riches, and honour, and life.
