Sirach 14:22-15:6

Good News Translation

²² Go after Wisdom like a hunter looking for game. ²³ Look into her windows and listen at her doors. ²⁴ Camp as close to her house as you can get, ²⁵ and you will have a fine place to live. ^26-27 Build your home there, safe beneath her protecting branches, and shaded from the heat.^[a]

15 If you fear the Lord, you will do this. Master his Law, and you will find Wisdom. ² She will come to welcome you, like a mother or a young bride. ³ She will give you wisdom and knowledge like food and drink. ⁴ Rely on her for support, and you will never know the disgrace of failure. ⁵ She will make you more honored than all your neighbors; when you speak in the assembly, she will give you the right words. ⁶ You will find happiness and genuine joy; your name will be remembered forever.
