Ben Sira 21:13

13 The perfection of the fear of God is wisdom and understanding.

Ben Sira 21:13 In-Context

11 The way of sinners is made plain with stones, and in their end is hell, and darkness, and pains.
12 He that keepeth justice shall get the understanding thereof.
13 The perfection of the fear of God is wisdom and understanding.
14 He that is not wise in good, will not be taught.
15 But there is a wisdom that aboundeth in evil : and there is no understanding where there is bitterness.
