Isaiah 8:13

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.

Ver. 13. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself.] Even your sweetest Immanuel; non sanctificatur autem nisi in eam credatar; sanctify him, I say, by believing in your hearts and confessing with your mouths, Rom 10:9 and walking "as becometh the gospel, … in nothing terrified by your adversaries." Php 1:27-28

And let him be your fear.] That is, the object of your fear, as Gen 31:53 Psa 76:11 where God is called "Fear" by an appellative proper. So the Chaldee paraphrase frequently calleth God Dechilah. The Greeks call him Yεος, of Dεος, fear. Bernard saith well, God is to be feared as a Lord, honoured as a Father, loved as a spouse. This fear of God is a sovereign remedy against the fear of the creature, and is therefore here and elsewhere opposed to it. Surely, as one fire driveth out another, and as Moses' serpent swallowed up the sorcerers' serpents, so here.
