Ben Sira 1:20-23 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.
