![]() ![]() Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble. Sir.2 My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation. Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit. Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest. Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart. For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight. If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee. The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner. He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom. A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him. A furious man cannot be justified for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction. The fear of the Lord driveth away sins: and where it is present, it turneth away wrath. The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches thereof are long life. Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of understanding standing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast. The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him. She filleth all their house with things desirable, and the garners with her increase. To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with her fruits. She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and she shall continue with their seed. To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb. Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death. The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life. The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of rejoicing. She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath given her to them that love him. ![]() He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works. There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne. To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels? The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom and her ways are everlasting commandments. Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting. ![]() Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom? Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity? Sir.1 All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever.
