Sirach 39:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 they seek out the hidden meanings of proverbs
and are at home with the obscurities of parables.(A)
4 They serve among the great
and appear before rulers;
they travel in foreign nations
and learn what is good and evil in the human lot.(B)
5 They set their hearts to rise early
to seek the Lord who made them
and to petition the Most High;
they open their mouths in prayer
and ask pardon for their sins.(C)
