Ben Sira 14:21-26

21 Anyone who studies the ways of Wisdom will also learn her secrets.
22 Go after Wisdom like a hunter looking for game.
23 Look into her windows and listen at her doors.
24 Camp as close to her house as you can get,
25 and you will have a fine place to live.
26 Build your home there, safe beneath her protecting branches, and shaded from the heat.
