Sirach 39:6 In-Context

4 They will serve among the great and appear before rulers. They will travel in foreign lands, because they will test what's good and what's evil in people.
5 They will commit themselves to rise early, to seek the Lord who made them, and to pray to the Most High. They will open their mouth in prayer and ask forgiveness for their sins.
6 If the great Lord is willing, they will be filled with a spirit of understanding; they will pour forth words of wisdom, and they will give thanks to the Lord in prayer.
7 Their reasoning and knowledge will remain on course, and they will ponder God's mysteries.
8 They will bring to light the learning of their instruction, and they will make the laws of the Lord's covenant their boast.
