The phrase “the fear of the LORD” is used 14 times in Proverbs (same Hebrew word used for “fear” in those verses):

1) Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

2) Proverbs 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

3) Proverbs 2:5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

4) Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

5) Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

6) Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

8) Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

9) Proverbs 15:16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

10) Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

11) Proverbs 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

12) Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

13) Proverbs 22:4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

14) Proverbs 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. 


*For clarification: When a multiple of a number is used, it has the same meaning as the original number. For example, seven means perfection, completion, and is God's stamp on His Word. A multiple of seven has the same meaning, sometimes heightening or magnifying it, but the same underlying meaning. So 14, 21, 70, 490, etc. all have the same symbolic meaning in the Scriptures. There are so many sevens in the Bible, but you will often find many passages where a multiple of seven is used as well. Like here.
