Sirach 6:17-19
Common English Bible
17 Those who fear the Lord
will direct their friendships well,
because they will associate with people
of like mind.[a]
Submission to Wisdom
18 My child, from your youth
welcome education, and you will continue to discover Wisdom
until you are gray-haired.
19 Approach her like one who plows
and one who sows,
and wait for her good fruits.
When cultivating her,
you will labor a little,
but you will eat her produce soon.
