22. The Lord has rewarded me with lips,with a tongue for praising him.
23. Come aside to me, you untutored,and take up lodging in the house of instruction;
24. How long will you deprive yourself of wisdom’s food,how long endure such bitter thirst?
25. I open my mouth and speak of her:gain wisdom for yourselves at no cost.
26. Take her yoke upon your neck;that your mind may receive her teaching.For she is close to those who seek her,and the one who is in earnest finds her.
27. See for yourselves! I have labored only a little,but have found much.
28. Acquire but a little instruction,and you will win silver and gold through her.
29. May your soul rejoice in God’s mercy;do not be ashamed to give him praise.
30. Work at your tasks in due season,and in his own time God will give you your reward.
