Wisdom of Ben Sira 25:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ How great is the one who finds wisdom,
    but without equal is the one who fears the Lord.
¹¹ The fear of the Lord surpasses everything;
    to whom can we compare the one who possesses it?
[¹² The fear of the Lord is the beginning of loving him,
    and faith is the beginning of clinging to him.]^[a]
