Sirach 6:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits.

²¹ How very unpleasant is wisdom to the unlearned, and the unwise will not continue with her.

²² She shall be to them as a mighty stone of trial, and they will cast her from them before it be long.
