Sirach 1:12-14

Wycliffe Bible

¹² The dread of the Lord shall delight the heart; and shall give gladness and joy into [the] length of days.

¹³ To him that dreadeth God, it shall be well in the last things, or in the last days, [or in the last ends]; and he shall be blessed in the day of his death. Forsooth they to whom wisdom appeareth in sight, that is, by (the) revelation of prophecy, love it in sight, and in (the) knowing of his great things [or To whom forsooth it shall appear in sight, they love it in (the) seeing (of it), and in (the) knowing of his great things]. The love of God is honourable wisdom.

¹⁴ The beginning of wisdom is the dread of the Lord; and it is formed together in the womb with faithful men, and it goeth with chosen women, and it is known with just men and faithful. [The beginning of wisdom dread of the Lord; and with faithful men in the womb he is together formed, and with chosen women he goeth, and with rightwise and faithful men he is known.]
