New International Version (NIV)

13The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,

he is the one you are to fear,

he is the one you are to dread.

13“It is the Lord of armies whom you are to regard as holy.

And He shall be your fear,

And He shall be your dread.

13“It is the Lord of hosts whom you are to regard as holy and awesome.

He shall be your [source of] fear,

He shall be your [source of] dread [not man].

13The Lord of Hosts is the One

you shall regard as holy.

Only He should be feared;

only He should be dreaded.

13Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

13Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,

13Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.

13The Lord rules over all.

So you must think about him as holy.

You must have respect for him.

You must fear him.

13Instead, you should understand that the Lord Almighty has all authority. You should respect him as the holy God. You should be afraid of him.

13YHWH of Hosts—Him you sanctify, || And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,
