Sirach 1:18-20
Wycliffe Bible

19 Wisdom shall part the cunning (or the knowing) and understanding of prudence; and it enhanceth the glory of them, that hold it.
20 The root of wisdom is for to dread God; forsooth the branches thereof be long (en)during [or The root of wisdom is to dread God; the branches forsooth of it long living]. Understanding and religiosity of cunning (or of knowing) be in the treasures of wisdom; but wisdom is abomination to sinners.
