Sirach 51:16

16 I paid a little attention, and I received her and found much instruction for myself.

Sirach 51:16 In-Context

14 In front of the temple, I asked for her, and I will search for her until I die.

15 From the first blossom to the ripening of the grape clusters, my heart delighted in her; I walked in straight paths; I chased her down from my youth.

16 I paid a little attention, and I received her and found much instruction for myself.

17 I made progress with her; I will give glory to the one who gives me Wisdom.

18 I made up my mind to put Wisdom into practice; I sought the good, and I will never be ashamed.
