The King James Version Bible

Sirach 39:1-3

  1. But he that giveth his mind to the law of the most High, and is occupied in the meditation thereof, will seek out the wisdom of all the ancient, and be occupied in prophecies.

  2. He will keep the sayings of the renowned men: and where subtil parables are, he will be there also.

  3. He will seek out the secrets of grave sentences, and be conversant in dark parables.
