Ben Sira 6:32

32 My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught; and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.

Ben Sira 6:32 In-Context

30 For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.

31 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honor, and shalt put her bout thee as a crown of joy.

32 My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught; and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.

33 If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding; and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise.

34 Stand in the multitude of the elders, and cleave unto him that is wise.
