Ben Sira 51:15

15 From my blossoming youth to my ripe old age she has been my delight. I have followed directly in her path ever since I was young.

Ben Sira 51:15 In-Context

13 When I was still young, before I started out on my travels, I boldly prayed for Wisdom.

14 I went to the Temple and asked for her, and I will look for her as long as I live.

15 From my blossoming youth to my ripe old age she has been my delight. I have followed directly in her path ever since I was young.

16 I received Wisdom as soon as I began listening for her, and I have been rewarded with great knowledge.

17 I have always been a learner and am grateful to everyone who has been my teacher.
