Ben Sira 1:26-28
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

26 If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments,
    and the Lord will bestow her upon you;
27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline;
    faithfulness and humility are his delight.

28 Do not disobey the fear of the Lord,[a]
    do not approach it with duplicity of heart.(A)
