Ben Sira 4:15

15 Those who obey her will give sound judgments; those who pay attention to her have true security.

Ben Sira 4:15 In-Context

13 Anyone who obtains Wisdom will be greatly honored. Wherever he goes, the Lord will bless him.

14 Wisdom's servants are the servants of the Holy One, and the Lord loves everyone who loves her.

15 Those who obey her will give sound judgments; those who pay attention to her have true security.

16 Put your trust in Wisdom, and you will possess her and pass her on to your descendants.

17 At first, Wisdom will lead you along difficult paths. She will make you so afraid that you will think you cannot go on. The discipline she demands will be tormenting, and she will put you to the test with her requirements until she trusts you completely.
