Sirach 15:1-7 World English Bible (WEB)

1. He that fears the Lord will do this; And he that has possession of the law shall obtain her.

2. And as a mother shall she meet him, And receive him as a wife married in her virginity.

3. With bread of understanding shall she feed him, And give him water of wisdom to drink.

4. He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved; And shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded.

5. And she shall exalt him above his neighbors; And in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.

6. He shall inherit joy, and a crown of gladness, And an everlasting name.

7. Foolish men shall not obtain her; And sinners shall not see her.
