Ben Sira 51:23-27 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.
