Sirach 25:9-11
Good News Translation
9 someone fortunate enough to have a real friend,[a]
a person that people are happy to listen to,
10 and the really great one: someone who is wise.
But the greatest one of all is the person who fears the Lord.
11 Such a person has no equal, because the fear of the Lord is the most important thing in the world.[b]
