Ben Sira 6:23

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

Ben Sira 6:23 In-Context

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.
25 Carry her on your shoulder and don't be resentful of her bonds.
