The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge - Proverbs 1:7
The fear of God is not a morbid dread of him. Rather, it is a profound reverence and awe. There can be no true knowledge without this fear. Life is from Jehovah God, and life is, of course, essential for our having any knowledge. (Psalm 36:9; Acts 17:25, 28) Furthermore, God created all things; so all human knowledge is based on a study of his handiwork. (Psalm 19:1, 2; Revelation 4:11) God also inspired his written Word, which is “beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) Thus, the focal point of all true knowledge is Jehovah, and a person seeking it must have a reverential fear of him.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The fear of the Lord. There are two kinds of fear. There's the wringing of the hands, trembling, kind of fear. Then there's awesome reverence or respect. This is the kind of fear Proverbs teaches that we are to have toward God.

fear to God, in the good sense....not to desobey him...respect him...do what's good before his eyes.
