Sirach 40:25-27
Revised Standard Version
25 Gold and silver make the foot stand sure,
but good counsel is esteemed more than both.
26 Riches and strength lift up the heart,
but the fear of the Lord is better than both.
There is no loss in the fear of the Lord,
and with it there is no need to seek for help.
27 The fear of the Lord is like a garden of blessing,
and covers a man[a] better than any glory.
