Ben Sira 1:27

27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction, and faith and meekness are His delight.

Ben Sira 1:27 In-Context

25 The parables of knowledge are in the treasuries of wisdom, but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction, and faith and meekness are His delight.
28 Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor, and come not unto Him with a double heart.
29 Be not a hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest.
