24. Wisdom will distribute knowledge and an understanding of prudence; and she lifts up the glory of those who hold to her.
25. The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and its branches are long-lived.
26. In the treasures of wisdom is understanding and the sanctity of knowledge. But to sinners, wisdom is an abomination.
27. The fear of the Lord expels sin.
28. For he who is without fear is not able to be justified. For the disposition of his spirit is his undoing.
29. Those who are patient will suffer for a brief time, and afterwards, happiness will return.
30. A noble mind will hide his words for a brief time, and then the lips of many will declare his understanding.
31. Among the treasures of wisdom is the outward sign of discipline.
32. But to those who sin, the worship of God is an abomination.
33. Son, if you desire wisdom, observe justice, and then God will offer her to you.
