전도서 7:18의 Quotation
ט֚וֹב אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֶּאֱחֹ֣ז בָּזֶ֔ה וְגַם־מִזֶּ֖ה אַל־תַּנַּ֣ח אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ כִּֽי־יְרֵ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים יֵצֵ֥א אֶת־כֻּלָּֽם׃
너는 이것을 잡으며 저것을 놓지 마는 것이 좋으니 하나님을 경외하는 자는 이 모든 일에서 벗어날 것임이니라
Footnotes to Kohelet by Bruce Heitler
This phrase seems to indicate the awe of God can come from either side of a dilemma. The phrase could also be translated, "Do not relax your grip, since awe of God can go out with all of these." In other words, the sentence simultaneously indicates that reverence for God could dissipate (go out) as well as it could flow from one or the other.
