The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, filling up peace and the fruit of salvation: 23And it hath seen, and numbered her: but both are the gifts of God. 24Wisdom shall distribute knowledge, and understanding of prudence: and exalteth the glory of them that hold her. 25The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord: and the branches thereof are long-lived. 26In the treasures of wisdom is understanding, and religiousness of knowledge: but to sinners wisdom is an abomination. 27The fear of the Lord driveth out sin: 28For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin. 29A patient man shall bear for a time, and afterwards joy shall be restored to him. 30A good understanding will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
