19
Come to her as one that plougheth, and soweth, and wait for her good fruits:
20
For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits.
21
How very unpleasant is wisdom to the unlearned, and the unwise will not continue with her.
22
She shall be to them as a mighty stone of trial, and they will cast her from them before it be long.
23
For the wisdom of doctrine is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many, but with them to whom she is known, she continueth even to the sight of God.
24
Give ear, my son, and take wise counsel, and cast not away my advice.
25
Put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chains:
26
Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bands.
27
Come to her with all thy mind, and keep her ways with all thy power.
28
Search for her, and she shall be made known to thee, and when thou hast gotten her, let her not go:
29
For in the latter end thou shalt find rest in her, and she shall be turned to thy joy.
