Sirach 1:25-29 World English Bible (WEB)

25. A parable of knowledge is in the treasures of wisdom; But godliness is an abomination to a sinner.

26. If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, And the Lord shall give her to you freely:

27. For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction; And in faith and meekness is his good pleasure.

28. Disobey not the fear of the Lord; And come not to him with a double heart.

29. Be not a hypocrite in the mouths of men; And take good heed to your lips.
