Proverbs 9:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.(A)
11 For by me your days will be multiplied
and the years of your life increased.(B)
12 If you are wise, wisdom is to your advantage;
if you are arrogant, you alone shall bear it.
