Ben Sira 51:24

24 Why do you admit that you are ignorant and do nothing about it?

Ben Sira 51:24 In-Context

22 The Lord gave me a gift for words, and I have used it in his praise.
23 Come to me, all you that need instruction, and learn in my school.
24 Why do you admit that you are ignorant and do nothing about it?
25 Here is what I say: It costs nothing to be wise.
26 Put on the yoke, and be willing to learn. The opportunity is always near.
