Ben Sira 51:17

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

Ben Sira 51:17 In-Context

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.

18 I was determined to live wisely and was devoted to the cause of goodness. I have no regrets.

19 I fought for Wisdom and was strict in my conduct. When I prayed, I sadly confessed how far short of Wisdom I fell.
