Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth, honor and life—a declaration that reverent submission to God produces comprehensive flourishing including material, relational, and existential goods. The pairing 'humility and fear of LORD' establishes these as linked virtues; humility is the outward expression of fearing God. The threefold blessing 'wealth, honor and life' is comprehensive. The theological significance involves the principle that the fear of the LORD is the root from which all good things grow.
