Sirach 51:24

24 Why are you still lacking in these things; why do you thirst for this?

Sirach 51:24 In-Context

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.
24 Why are you still lacking in these things; why do you thirst for this?
25 I opened my mouth and said, "Acquire her for yourselves without money.
26 Place your neck under her yoke, and let your soul receive instruction. It is found close at hand."
