Use your Bible and a concordance to identify three verses in Proverbs in addition to Proverbs 1:7 that use the phrase, "the fear of the Lord." Document the source of the verse using an MLA Style parenthetical citation, for example, (ESV, John 3:16).

Note: If you do not have a concordance, you may use an online Bible search tool, for example, the one provided by Bible Gateway. Search using the words “eternal” or “everlasting.”
