Ben Sira 6:31

31 You will wear her like a glorious robe, and put her on like a splendid crown.

Ben Sira 6:31 In-Context

29 Then her fetters will become for you a strong defense, and her collar a glorious robe.
30 Her yoke is a golden ornament, and her bonds a purple cord.
31 You will wear her like a glorious robe, and put her on like a splendid crown.
32 If you are willing, my child, you can be disciplined, and if you apply yourself you will become clever.
33 If you love to listen you will gain knowledge, and if you pay attention you will become wise.
