Ben Sira 24:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 You will remember me as sweeter than honey,
better to have than the honeycomb.
21 Those who eat of me will hunger still,[a]
those who drink of me will thirst for more.(A)
22 Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame,
and those who serve me will never go astray.”

- 24:21 The paradox of wisdom is that, far from being satiated, those who partake of her will always desire more.
