Sirach 51:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁵ From the first blossom to the ripening grape
    my heart delighted in her;
my foot walked on the straight path;
    from my youth I followed her steps.

¹⁶ I inclined my ear a little and received her,
    and I found for myself much instruction.
¹⁷ I made progress in her;
    to him who gives wisdom I will give glory.
