Legion,

You better go back to Hebrew class or at least check a few other translations. That word “fear” is better translated as respect, reverence, or even worship.

Even when using the English word "fear" its definition is not static. A quick look in the dictionary will show you that “fear” can also mean: Extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power

BTW: That would apply to Job 28:28; Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 15:33; and Ecclesiastes 12:13 as well.
