Ben Sira 38:25

25 How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labors, and whose talk is of bullocks?

Ben Sira 38:25 In-Context

23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him when his spirit is departed from him.
24 The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure, and he that hath little business shall become wise.
25 How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labors, and whose talk is of bullocks?
26 He giveth his mind to make furrows, and is diligent to give the cows fodder.
27 So every carpenter and workmaster that laboreth night and day, and they that cut and engrave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to lifelike imagery, and watch to finish a work.
