Ben Sira 1:12

12 To honor the Lord is a heartfelt delight; it will give you a long and happy life,

Ben Sira 1:12 In-Context

10 He gave some measure of Wisdom to everyone, but poured her out on those who love him.

11 If you fear the Lord, honor and pride will be yours; you will be crowned with happiness and joy.

12 To honor the Lord is a heartfelt delight; it will give you a long and happy life,

13 and at the end of your days all will go well for you. God will bless you on the day of your death.

14 To fear the Lord is the first step to Wisdom. Wisdom is given to the faithful in their mothers' wombs.
