Sirach 1:18-20
Common English Bible
18 Fearing the Lord
is Wisdom’s crowning garland,
sprouting forth peace
and restorative health.[a]
19 She rained down skill
and insightful knowledge,
and she raised up the reputation
of those who held on to her.
20 Fearing the Lord is Wisdom’s root,
and her branches yield a long life.[b]
