Sirach 38:24-26

Revised Standard Version

²⁴ The wisdom of the scribe depends on the opportunity of leisure;
    and he who has little business may become wise.
²⁵ How can he become wise who handles the plow,
    and who glories in the shaft of a goad,
who drives oxen and is occupied with their work,
    and whose talk is about^[a] bulls?
²⁶ He sets his heart on plowing furrows,
    and he is careful about fodder for the heifers.
