Sirach 6:35-37

Common English Bible

³⁵ Desire to listen
to every godly conversation,
    and don’t let intelligent proverbs escape you.
³⁶ If you find individuals who are intelligent,
    get up before dawn to see those people,
    and let your foot
    wear out their doorsteps.
³⁷ Think about the Lord’s decrees,
    and meditate constantly
    on his commandments.
    He will make your heart steadfast,
    and will grant your desire for wisdom.
