Sirach 6:19-21
Common English Bible
19 Approach her like one who plows
and one who sows,
and wait for her good fruits.
When cultivating her,
you will labor a little,
but you will eat her produce soon.
20 Wisdom is rugged terrain
to the uneducated,
and the fainthearted
won’t persevere with her.
21 She will be like a heavy stone
that tests them,
and they won’t hesitate
to throw her aside.
