Sirach 1:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ There are intelligent proverbs
in Wisdom’s treasuries,
    but sinners avoid godliness
    like the plague.
²⁶ If you want to find Wisdom,
then keep the commandments,
    and the Lord will supply her to you in
    vast quantities.
²⁷ Fearing the Lord brings
wisdom and education.
    He is pleased with faithfulness
    and gentleness.
