Sirach 34:8-15 World English Bible (WEB)

8. Without lying shall the law be accomplished; And wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.

9. A well-instructed man knows many things; And he that has much experience will declare understanding.

10. He that has no experience knows few things: But he that has wandered shall increase his skill.

11. In my wandering I have seen many things; And more than my words is my understanding.

12. Ofttimes was I in danger even to death; And I was preserved because of these things.

13. The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; For their hope is upon him that saves them.

14. Whoso fears the Lord shall not be afraid, and shall not play the coward; For he is his hope.

15. Blessed is the soul of him that fears the Lord: To whom does he give heed? and who is his stay?
