Jer 10:7

“(Verse 7.) Who will not fear you, O king of the nations? Yours is the glory among all the wise of the nations, and in all their kingdoms there is none like you. All will fear him, for he is the king of the nations. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord (Prov. IX, 10): and from it we advance to true charity. 'The glory is yours,' he says. In truth, there is beauty; in falsehood, there is ugliness: although heretics, according to the wisdom of the world, which is destroyed, may seem wise to themselves; nevertheless, in all the kingdoms which they tear the Church in, none are like you, as the divine word says: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will reject the prudence of the prudent' (I Cor. I, 19).”

“The fear of God arises in us from the consideration of divine power. "Who would not fear thee, O king of nations? For thine is the glory: among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, who is like unto thee?" Therefore who would not fear thee, unless he be impious and foolish? If a man is impious, he is in need of punishment; if he is foolish, he is in need of understanding.”
