Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.One of the central tenets of the Bible is fear. Sometimes the word, fear, is meant in terms of great awe, but at other times -- like this verse from Isaiah -- it means to be scared or frightened of.
~ King James version ~
He who knows how to live can walk abroad
Without fear of rhinoceros or tiger.
~ from Verse 50 of the Tao Te Ching ~
Tao is neither to be glorified nor feared. Tao never attacks; you cannot provoke Tao. Tao is and that's all there is to it!
