Sirach 6:19

19 Approach her like one who plows and one who sows, and wait for her good fruits. When cultivating her, you will labor a little, but you will eat her produce soon.

Sirach 6:19 In-Context

17 Those who fear the Lord will direct their friendships well, because they will associate with people of like mind.
18 My child, from your youth welcome education, and you will continue to discover Wisdom until you are gray-haired.
19 Approach her like one who plows and one who sows, and wait for her good fruits. When cultivating her, you will labor a little, but you will eat her produce soon.
20 Wisdom is rugged terrain to the uneducated, and the fainthearted won't persevere with her.
21 She will be like a heavy stone that tests them, and they won't hesitate to throw her aside.
