Sirach 51:23-27
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
23 Draw near to me, you who are untaught,
and lodge in my school.
24 Why do you say you are lacking in these things,[a]
and why are your souls very thirsty?
25 I opened my mouth and said,
Get these things[b] for yourselves without money.
26 Put your neck under the yoke,
and let your souls receive instruction;
it is to be found close by.
27 See with your eyes that I have labored little
and found for myself much rest.
