Ben Sira 51:21

21 My heart was stirred to seek her, therefore I have gained a good possession.

Ben Sira 51:21 In-Context

19 My soul grappled with wisdom, and in my conduct I was strict; I spread out my hands to the heavens, and lamented my ignorance of her.

20 I directed my soul to her, and through purification I found her. I gained understanding with her from the first, therefore I will not be forsaken.

21 My heart was stirred to seek her, therefore I have gained a good possession.

22 The Lord gave me a tongue as my reward, and I will praise him with it.

23 Draw near to me, you who are untaught, and lodge in my school.
