Ben Sira 1:10

10 upon all the living according to his gift; he lavished her upon those who love him.

Ben Sira 1:10 In-Context

8 There is but one who is wise, greatly to be feared, seated upon his throne—the Lord.

9 It is he who created her; he saw her and took her measure; he poured her out upon all his works,

10 upon all the living according to his gift; he lavished her upon those who love him.

11 The fear of the Lord is glory and exultation, and gladness and a crown of rejoicing.

12 The fear of the Lord delights the heart, and gives gladness and joy and long life.
