Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 6:22-28 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

22. “Discipline” means just that — discipline, and not many people are able to discipline themselves.

23. My child, listen to me and take my advice.

24. Put Wisdom's chains round your feet and her yoke round your neck.

25. Carry her on your shoulder and don't be resentful of her bonds.

26. Follow Wisdom, and keep to her ways with all your heart.

27. Go looking for her, and she will reveal herself to you. Take hold of her and don't let go.

28. Then you will discover the peace of mind she offers, and she will become your joy.
