Sirach 6:29-36 World English Bible (WEB)

29. And her fetters shall be to you for a covering of strength, And her chains for a robe of glory.

30. For there is a golden ornament upon her, And her bands are a riband of blue.

31. You shall put her on as a robe of glory, And shall array you with her as a crown of rejoicing.

32. My son, if you will, you shall be instructed; And if you will yield your soul, you shall be prudent.

33. If you love to hear, you shall receive; And if you incline your ear, you shall be wise.

34. Stand you in the multitude of the elders; And whoso is wise, cleave you to him.

35. Be willing to listen to every godly discourse; And let not the proverbs of understanding escape you.

36. If you see a man of understanding, get you betimes to him, And let your foot wear out the steps of his doors.
