Ben Sira 51:17

17 I profited therein; therefore will I ascribe the glory unto Him that giveth me wisdom.

Ben Sira 51:17 In-Context

15 Even from the flower till the grape was ripe hath my heart delighted in her. My foot went the right way; from my youth up sought I after her.

16 I bowed down mine ear a little and received her, and got much learning.

17 I profited therein; therefore will I ascribe the glory unto Him that giveth me wisdom.

18 For I purposed to do according to her, and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be confounded.

19 My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact; I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.
