Sirach 1:20-22

Wycliffe Bible

²⁰ The root of wisdom is for to dread God; forsooth the branches thereof be long (en)during [or The root of wisdom is to dread God; the branches forsooth of it long living]. Understanding and religiosity of cunning (or of knowing) be in the treasures of wisdom; but wisdom is abomination to sinners.

²¹ The dread of the Lord putteth away sin, for he that is without dread of God, may not be justified [or shall not be able to be justified];

²² for why the wrathfulness of his pride [or of (his) willfulness] is the destroying of him.
