Ben Sira 25:11

11 But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumination; he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?

Ben Sira 25:11 In-Context

9 well is he that hath found prudence and he that speaketh in the ears of them that will hear;
10 O how great is he that findeth wisdom! Yet is there none above him that feareth the Lord.
11 But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumination; he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?
12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of His love, and faith is the beginning of cleaving unto Him.
13 Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart; and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman;
