Ben Sira 21:11

11 Whoever keeps the law controls his thoughts, and the fulfillment of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.

Ben Sira 21:11 In-Context

9 An assembly of the wicked is like a bundle of tow, and their end is a blazing fire.
10 The way of sinners is paved with smooth stones, but at its end is the pit of Hades.
11 Whoever keeps the law controls his thoughts, and the fulfillment of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.
12 The one who is not clever cannot be taught, but there is a cleverness that increases bitterness.
13 The knowledge of the wise will increase like a flood, and their counsel like a life-giving spring.
