Sirach 51:21

21 My guts were stirred to seek her; for this reason I gained a desired possession.

Sirach 51:21 In-Context

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.

21 My guts were stirred to seek her; for this reason I gained a desired possession.

22 The Lord gave me the power to speak well, as my reward, and I will praise him with it.

23 Draw near to me, you who lack education, and stay in my school.
