Ecclesiasticus 6:22

Ecclesiasticus 6:22 Context

¹⁹Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon. ²⁰She is very unpleasant to the unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her. ²¹She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long. ²²For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many. ²³Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel, ²⁴And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain. ²⁵Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.
