Sirach 1:14-18 World English Bible (WEB)

14. To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; And it was created together with the faithful in the womb.

15. With men she laid an eternal foundation; And with their seed shall she be had in trust.

16. To fear the Lord is the fulness of wisdom; And she satiateth men with her fruits.

17. She shall fill all her house with desirable things, And her garners with her produce.

18. The fear of the Lord is the crown of wisdom, Making peace and perfect health to flourish.
