Ben Sira 6:35-37
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
35 Be eager to hear every discourse;
let no insightful saying escape you.(A)
36 If you see the intelligent, seek them out;
let your feet wear away their doorsteps!
37 Reflect on the law of the Most High,
and let his commandments be your constant study.
Then he will enlighten your mind,
and make you wise as you desire.(B)
