Sirach 51:20-24 World English Bible (WEB)

20. I set my soul aright to her, And in pureness I found her. I got me a heart joined with her from the beginning: Therefore shall I not be forsaken.

21. My inward part also was troubled to seek her: Therefore I have gotten a good possession.

22. The Lord gave me a tongue for my reward; And I will praise him therewith.

23. Draw near to me, you⌃ unlearned, And lodge in the house of instruction.

24. Say, wherefore are you⌃ lacking in these things, And your souls are very thirsty?
