Sirach 6:20-24 World English Bible (WEB)

20. How exceeding harsh is she to the unlearned! And he that is without understanding will not abide in her.

21. As a mighty stone of trial shall she rest upon him; And he will not delay to cast her from him.

22. For wisdom is according to her name; and she is not manifest to many.

23. Give ear, my son, and accept my judgement, And refuse not my counsel,

24. And bring your feet into her fetters, And your neck into her chain.
