Die Furcht des HERRN ist Zucht und Weisheit; und ehe man zu Ehren kommt, muß man zuvor leiden.

La crainte de l'Eternel enseigne la sagesse, Et l'humilité précède la gloire.
Il timor del Signore è ammaestramento di sapienza; E l’umiltà va davanti alla gloria
O temor do SENHOR é a instrução da sabedoria, e precedendo a honra vai a humildade.
敬畏耶和華是智慧的訓誨; 要得尊榮,先有謙卑。
