Sirach 33:17 In-Context

15 Observe, then, all the works of the Most High, two by two, one opposite the other.

16 I was the last to keep vigil, as one who gathered the leftovers after the grape pickers.

17 By the blessing of the Lord, I was first on the scene, and like the grape pickers, I filled up a wine vat.

18 Understand that I haven't labored for myself alone, but for all those who are seeking instruction.

19 Listen to me, you who are great among the people; pay attention, you leaders in the congregation.
