Sirach 1:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ Wisdom shall distribute knowledge, and understanding of prudence: and exalteth the glory of them that hold her.

²⁵ The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord: and the branches thereof are longlived.

²⁶ In the treasures of wisdom is understanding, and religiousness of knowledge: but to sinners wisdom is an abomination.
