Sirach 1:18-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ The crown of wisdom is the dread of the Lord, and filleth peace [or fulfilling peace], and the fruit of health. And he saw, and numbered it; forsooth ever either be the gifts of God.

¹⁹ Wisdom shall part the cunning (or the knowing) and understanding of prudence; and it enhanceth the glory of them, that hold it.

²⁰ The root of wisdom is for to dread God; forsooth the branches thereof be long (en)during [or The root of wisdom is to dread God; the branches forsooth of it long living]. Understanding and religiosity of cunning (or of knowing) be in the treasures of wisdom; but wisdom is abomination to sinners.
