Fear of the Lord is Wisdom

11 Fear of the Lord is a person’s glory, boasting, gladness,
    and crown of rejoicing.
12 Fear of the Lord will cheer the heart,
    and it will give gladness, joy,
    and a long life.[a]
13 Things will go well at the end
for those who fear the Lord.
    They will be blessed
    at the time of death.
