Ben Sira 21:11

11 Whoever wants to keep the Law must learn what the Law means. If you fear the Lord in every sense of the term, you will have wisdom.

Ben Sira 21:11 In-Context

9 A group of people who have no respect for the Law is like a pile of kindling; they will meet a fiery end.

10 The road that sinners walk is smooth and paved, but it leads to the world of the dead.

11 Whoever wants to keep the Law must learn what the Law means. If you fear the Lord in every sense of the term, you will have wisdom.

12 You have to be intelligent to learn anything; but there is such a thing as just pretending to be intelligent, which only makes people bitter.

13 A wise person's knowledge is like a river that never runs dry, like an everflowing stream of good advice.
