14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
14 Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
14 A tenderhearted person lives a blessed life; a hardhearted person lives a hard life.
14 Happy is the man who is always reverent, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
14 Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.

(Read Proverbs 28:14)
There is a fear which causes happiness. Faith and love will deliver from the fear of eternal misery; but we should always fear offending God, and fear sinning against him.
