Sirach 51:21-26

1. 21 My heart was troubled in seeking her: therefore have I gotten a good possession.

2. 22 The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.

3. 23 Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning.

4. 24 Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye to these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty?

5. 25 I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money.

6. 26 Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find.
