Fear refers to:鈥擨n the OT 鈥榯he fear of the Lord鈥� is frequently a definition of piety. The purpose of the giving of the Law is the implanting of this fear in the hearts of men ( Deuteronomy 4:10 ); it is the sum of religious duty ( Deuteronomy 6:13 ) and prompts to obedient and loving service ( Deuteronomy 10:12 ). 鈥楩ear cannot be appraised without reference to the worth of the objects feared鈥� (Martinean, Types of Ethical Theory , ii. 184); hence it is on the revelation of the Divine nature as 鈥榟oly and to be feared鈥� ( Psalms 111:9 ) that this fundamental principle of religion rests: those who know His name have learnt that to fear Him is true wisdom ( Psalms 111:10 ) and true blessedness ( Psalms 112:1 ).
