Sirach 6:24-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ Put your feet into her fetters
    and your neck into her collar.^(A)
25 Bend your shoulder and carry her,
    and do not become angry with her bonds.^(B)
26 Come to her with all your soul,
    and keep her ways with all your might.
²⁷ Search out and seek, and she will become known to you,
    and when you get hold of her, do not let her go.^(C)
28 For at last you will find her rest,
    and she will be changed into joy for you.
