Ben Sira 1:16

Listen to Ben Sira 1:16
16 The fear of the Lord is the crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish.

Ben Sira 1:16 In-Context

14 To fear the Lord is wisdom's full measure; she satisfies men with her fruits;
15 she fills their whole house with desirable goods, and their storehouses with her produce.
16 The fear of the Lord is the crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish.
17 He saw her and apportioned her; he rained down knowledge and discerning comprehension, and he exalted the glory of those who held her fast.
18 To fear the Lord is the root of wisdom, and her branches are long life.
