Sirach 6:25-31
-
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.
-
30 For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.
-
31 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.
