Sirach 51:23-30

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."

27 See for yourselves that I have labored a little, and I have found much rest for myself.

28 Invest in your education with a great amount of silver, and with it you will acquire much gold.

29 May your whole being take delight in God's mercy, and may you never be ashamed when you praise him.

30 Accomplish your work in good time, and he will give you your reward in his time.
