14 I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people ^cfear before him.

7 For when dreams increase and ^cwords grow many, ^dthere is vanity;¹ but^{2 e}God is the one you must fear.

18 It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who ^yfears God shall come out from both of them.

12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and ^kprolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who ^lfear God, because they fear before him.

13 But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
