Names of God Bible

13 Whoever despises God’s words will pay the penalty,
    but the one who fears God’s commands will be rewarded.

14 The teachings of a wise person are a fountain of life
    to turn one away from the grasp of death.
15 Good sense brings favor,
    but the way of treacherous people is always the same.[a]
