¹⁸ And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:

¹⁵ But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

²³ For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

36 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
