Ben Sira 6:22

22 "Discipline" means just that - discipline, and not many people are able to discipline themselves.

Ben Sira 6:22 In-Context

20 Undisciplined people find Wisdom's demands too hard and don't have enough determination to meet them.

21 Her requirements are a burden heavier than they are willing to bear, and they quickly lay them aside.

22 "Discipline" means just that - discipline, and not many people are able to discipline themselves.

23 My child, listen to me and take my advice.

24 Put Wisdom's chains around your feet and her yoke around your neck.
