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.
24
Put your feet into her fetters, and your neck into her collar.
25
Put your shoulder under her and carry her, and do not fret under her bonds.
