Sirach 6:22-29
-
22 For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.
-
23 Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,
-
24 And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain.
-
25 Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.
-
26 Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.
-
27 Search, and seek, and she shall be made known unto thee: and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not go.
-
28 For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.
-
29 Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.
