Sirach 1:12-14
Common English Bible
12 Fear of the Lord will cheer the heart,
and it will give gladness, joy,
and a long life.[a]
13 Things will go well at the end
for those who fear the Lord.
They will be blessed
at the time of death.
14 Wisdom starts with fearing the Lord,
and she is joined to the faithful
even within the womb.
