13 Those who fear the Lord will have a happy end; on the day of their death they will be blessed.

14 To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; she is created with the faithful in the womb.

15 She made among human beings an eternal foundation, and among their descendants she will abide faithfully.

16 To fear the Lord is fullness of wisdom; she inebriates mortals with her fruits;

17 she fills their whole house with desirable goods, and their storehouses with her produce.
