"The fear of the Lord" - is a symbol of a reverent, especially reverent, awe-inspiring attitude, the true worship of man before the Will of the Creator, His Commandments, which must always be guarded, preserved in unchanging purity of mind and execution.
"The fear of the Lord" - is a manifestation of true wisdom and a special state of man's soul and spirit, who fears with all his might and strives not to violate in any way the measure of the Will of God which he knows.
"Fear" is also the condition of man who is not guided by true reason, knowledge and fulfillment of God's Commandments and therefore feels uncertainty, confusion, helplessness, and a sense of doom before the prevailing circumstances.
