Sirach 51:12 In-Context

10 I called out to the Lord, the father of my master: "Don't desert me in the time of my distress, when I am helpless before the arrogant.

11 I will praise your name continually, and I will sing thanksgiving hymns." My prayer was heard,

12 because you saved me from destruction and you rescued me from an evil time. For this, I will give thanks, praise you, and bless the Lord's name.

13 When I was still young, before I had traveled, I sought Wisdom openly in my prayer.

14 In front of the temple, I asked for her, and I will search for her until I die.
