New Testament

Sirach 24:22-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. I have extended my branches like a terebinth tree, and my branches are of honor and grace.

23. Like the vine, I have born the fruit of a sweet fragrance. And my flowers are the fruit of honor and integrity.

24. I am the mother of the beauty of love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope.

25. All grace of the way and of the truth is in me. All hope of life and of virtue is in me.

26. Journey toward me, all you who desire me, and be filled by my harvest.

27. For my spirit is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance is better than honey and the honeycomb.

28. My memory is for the generations of all ages.

29. Whoever consumes me will hunger still. And whoever drinks me will thirst still.

30. Whoever listens to me will not be confounded. And whoever acts in me will not sin.
