Tremble with fear and do not sin! Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! (Selah)

Reuben said to them, “Didn’t I say to you, ‘Don’t sin against the boy,’ but you wouldn’t listen? So now we must pay for shedding his blood!”

Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you so that you do not sin.”

Then Saul said, “Scatter out among the army and say to them, ‘Each of you bring to me your ox and sheep and slaughter them in this spot and eat. But don’t sin against the Lord by eating the blood.” So that night each one brought his ox and slaughtered it there.
