Sirach 25:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ The fear of God hath set itself above all things:

¹⁵ Blessed is the man, to whom it is given to have the fear of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shall he be likened?

¹⁶ The fear of God is the beginning of his love: and the beginning of faith is to be fast joined unto it.
