Ben Sira 6:21

Listen to Ben Sira 6:21
21 She will weigh him down like a heavy testing stone, and he will not be slow to cast her off.

Ben Sira 6:21 In-Context

19 Come to her like one who plows and sows, and wait for her good harvest. For in her service you will toil a little while, and soon you will eat of her produce.
20 She seems very harsh to the uninstructed; a weakling will not remain with her.
21 She will weigh him down like a heavy testing stone, and he will not be slow to cast her off.
22 For wisdom is like her name, and is not manifest to many.
23 Listen, my son, and accept my judgment; do not reject my counsel.
