Sirach 39:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ If the great Lord is willing,
        they will be filled
        with a spirit of understanding;
    they will pour forth words of wisdom,
        and they will give thanks
        to the Lord in prayer.
⁷ Their reasoning and knowledge
will remain on course,
    and they will ponder God’s mysteries.
⁸ They will bring to light
the learning of their instruction,
    and they will make the laws
    of the Lord’s covenant their boast.
