Sirach 51:23-29 Common English Bible (CEB)

23. Draw near to me,you who lack education,and stay in my school.

24. Why are you still lacking in these things;why do you thirst for this?

25. I opened my mouth and said,"Acquire her for yourselveswithout money.

26. Place your neck under her yoke,and let your soulreceive instruction.It is found close at hand."

27. See for yourselves that I have laboreda little,and I have found much rest for myself.

28. Invest in your educationwith a great amount of silver,and with it you will acquire much gold.

29. May your whole being take delightin God’s mercy,and may you never be ashamedwhen you praise him.
