Wisdom of Ben Sira 40:25-27
New Catholic Bible
25 Gold and silver make one’s way secure,
but better than either is sound advice.
26 Riches and vigor build up self-confidence,
but better than either is fear of God.
With the fear of the Lord, nothing is lacking;
whoever has it does not need to seek any further help.
27 The fear of God is a paradise of blessings
and offers greater protection than any possible glory able to be achieved.
