The Fear of God/Wisdom in Ecclesiastes:

1. To trust God is doing a beautiful work in time, and humbly submit to His correction rather than resist Him.
2. To carefully listen to God rather than talk a lot.
3. To have a right self-assessment before God that is not overly righteous or too wise.
4. To not be corrupted by evil power when the wicked prosper.
5. To keep God's commandments knowing judgement is coming.

Four Quiet Words of the Wise:

1. Beware of Folly in High Places
2. Be Wise at Work
3. Be Wise with Words
