Ben Sira 1:24-27

24 They hold back their words until the right moment; then the lips of many tell of their good sense.

25 In the treasuries of wisdom are wise sayings, but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.

26 If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord will lavish her upon you.

27 For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline, fidelity and humility are his delight.
