19. Approach wisdom like one who plows and sows, and then wait for her good fruits.
20. For in doing her work, you will labor a little, but you will soon eat from her produce.
21. How exceedingly harsh is wisdom to unlearned men! And so, the witless will not remain with her.
22. She will be to them like a great stone of trial, and they will cast her away from them without delay.
23. For the wisdom of doctrine is in accord with her name, and she is not manifest to many. But she continues with those by whom she is recognized, even in the sight of God.
24. Listen, son, and accept an understanding counsel, for you should not discard my advice.
25. Set your feet in her fetters and your neck in her chains.
26. Incline your shoulder, and carry her, for you will not be grieved by her bindings.
