Wisdom of Ben Sira 25:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ blessed is the one who finds a friend
    and the one who speaks to an attentive audience.
¹⁰ How great is the one who finds wisdom,
    but without equal is the one who fears the Lord.
¹¹ The fear of the Lord surpasses everything;
    to whom can we compare the one who possesses it?
