The Crown of Wisdom

“The fear of the Lord is the crown of wisdom; it makes peace and health to flourish.” (Sirach 1: 18)

“If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord will convey her to you. For wisdom and instruction mean the fear of the Lord, and what pleases him is faithfulness and gentleness.” (Sirach 1: 26)

“Those who fear the Lord do not disdain his words, and those who love him keep his ways.” (Sirach 2: 18)
