Sirach 51:18

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

Sirach 51:18 In-Context

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.

19 My whole being grappled with her, and I was brought to perfection in my performance of the Law. I spread out my hands toward heaven, and I kept in mind my ignorance of her.

20 I directed my whole being toward her, and in purity I found her. I had a heart for her from the beginning. For this reason I will never be abandoned.
