Sirach 51:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ I prayed for her before the temple, and unto the very end I will seek after her, and she flourished as a grape soon ripe.

²⁰ My heart delighted in her, my foot walked in the right way, from my youth up I sought after her.

²¹ I bowed down my ear a little, and received her.
