Sirach 38:24-26
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Trades and Crafts
24 The wisdom of the scribe depends on the opportunity of leisure;
only the one who has little business can become wise.
25 How can one become wise who handles the plough,
and who glories in the shaft of a goad,
who drives oxen and is occupied with their work,
and whose talk is about bulls?
26 He sets his heart on ploughing furrows,
and he is careful about fodder for the heifers.
