14
To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb.
15
She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and she shall continue with their seed.
16
To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with her fruits.
17
She filleth all their house with things desirable, and the garners with her increase.
18
The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish; both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him.
19
Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of understanding standing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast.
20
The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches thereof are long life.
21
The fear of the Lord driveth away sins: and where it is present, it turneth away wrath.
22
A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.
23
A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.
24
He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
