Wisdom of Ben Sira 1:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord;
    she is created with the faithful in their mothers’ wombs.
¹⁵ She has made her home among men an age-old foundation,
    and among their descendants she will show her beneficence.
¹⁶ The fear of the Lord is the full measure of wisdom;
    she intoxicates people with her fruits.
