Sirach 6:20

20 Wisdom is rugged terrain to the uneducated, and the fainthearted won't persevere with her.

Sirach 6:20 In-Context

18 My child, from your youth welcome education, and you will continue to discover Wisdom until you are gray-haired.
19 Approach her like one who plows and one who sows, and wait for her good fruits. When cultivating her, you will labor a little, but you will eat her produce soon.
20 Wisdom is rugged terrain to the uneducated, and the fainthearted won't persevere with her.
21 She will be like a heavy stone that tests them, and they won't hesitate to throw her aside.
22 Wisdom is like her name, and she won't be visible to many.
