Sirach 6:18-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Blessings of Wisdom

¹⁸My son, from your youth up choose instruction,
    and until you are old you will keep finding wisdom.
¹⁹Come to her like one who plows and sows,
    and wait for her good harvest.
For in her service you will toil a little while,
    and soon you will eat of her produce.

You will have to work at it for a while, but you will soon be enjoying what you have earned.
