Ben Sira 14:21-27

21 He who reflects in his mind on her ways will also ponder her secrets.
22 Pursue wisdom like a hunter, and lie in wait on her paths.
23 He who peers through her windows will also listen at her doors;
24 he who encamps near her house will also fasten his tent peg to her walls;
25 he will pitch his tent near her, and will lodge in an excellent lodging place;
26 he will place his children under her shelter, and will camp under her boughs;
27 he will be sheltered by her from the heat, and will dwell in the midst of her glory.
