Ecclesiasticus 1:27-35 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

27. The fear of the Lord driveth out sin:

28. For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin.

29. A patient man shall bear for a time, and afterwards joy shall be restored to him.

30. A good understanding will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.

31. In the treasures of wisdom is the signification of discipline:

32. But the worship of God is an abomination to a sinner.

33. Son, if thou desire wisdom, keep justice, and God will give her to thee.

34. For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline: and that which is agreeable to him,

35. Is faith, and meekness: and he will fill up his treasures.
