Sirach 6:21 In-Context

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.

23 Listen, my child, and welcome my opinion. Don't reject my advice.
