Submission to Wisdom

11 Wisdom will exalt her children and take hold of those who seek her.

Sirach 4:11 In-Context

9 Set the wronged free from the hand of the wrongdoer, and don't be timid when you give judgment.

10 Be like a parent to orphans, and take care of their mothers as for your own wife or husband. Do this, and you will be like a child of the Most High, and God will love you more than your own mother does.

11 Wisdom will exalt her children and take hold of those who seek her.

12 Whoever loves her loves life. Those who wake early for her will be filled with gladness.

13 Those who possess her will inherit glory. The Lord blesses the place where they enter.
