Ben Sira 6:21

21 She will be like a heavy stone to test them, and they will not delay in casting her aside.

Ben Sira 6:21 In-Context

19 Come to her like one who plows and sows, and wait for her good harvest. For when you cultivate her you will toil but little, and soon you will eat of her produce.

20 She seems very harsh to the undisciplined; fools cannot remain with her.

21 She will be like a heavy stone to test them, and they will not delay in casting her aside.

22 For wisdom is like her name; she is not readily perceived by many.

23 Listen, my child, and accept my judgment; do not reject my counsel.
