18 The crown of wisdom is the fear of the Lord,flowering with peace and perfect health.
19 Knowledge and full understanding she rains down;she heightens the glory of those who possess her.
20 The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord;her branches are long life.
21 The fear of the Lord drives away sins;where it abides it turns back all anger.
22 Unjust anger can never be justified;anger pulls a person to utter ruin.
23 Until the right time, the patient remain calm,then cheerfulness comes back to them.
24 Until the right time they hold back their words;then the lips of many will tell of their good sense.
