Sirach 1:27DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 27 of 40
"The fear of the Lord driveth out sin:"
In context
25The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord: and the branches thereof are longlived.
26In the treasures of wisdom is understanding, and religiousness of knowledge: but to sinners wisdom is an abomination.
27The fear of the Lord driveth out sin:
28For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin.
29A patient man shall bear for a time, and afterwards joy shall be restored to him.
