In the context of ancient Israel, public knowledge of the consequences of disobedience to God's laws served as a powerful tool to maintain order and reverence for divine commandments. The fear mentioned here is not merely terror but a reverential awe that leads to obedience. This concept is echoed in <a href="/proverbs/1-7.htm">Proverbs 1:7</a>, where the fear of the Lord is described as the beginning of knowledge. The public nature of justice in Israelite society ensured that the community understood the seriousness of sin and the necessity of adhering to God's statutes.<p><b>and will no longer behave arrogantly</b><br>Arrogance, in this context, refers to the willful disobedience and prideful rejection of God's authority. The Israelites were repeatedly warned against such attitudes, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/8-14.htm">Deuteronomy 8:14</a>, where they are cautioned not to let their hearts become proud and forget the Lord. This phrase underscores the transformative power of witnessing justice; it serves as a corrective measure to humble the hearts of the people. The ultimate goal is to cultivate a community that lives in humility and submission to God's will, reflecting the character of Christ, who is described in <a href="/philippians/2-8.htm">Philippians 2:8</a> as being humble and obedient to the point of death.
