Sir 1:26
King James Version
“If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.”
Context
23A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.
24He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
25The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
26If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
27For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight.
28Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart.
29Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest.
