Wisdom of Ben Sira 51:26-28
New Catholic Bible
26 Put your neck under her yoke,
and allow your souls to receive instruction;
it is close by if you wish to find it.
27 See for yourselves that my labors were minimal,
but my reward of serenity has been great.
28 You may expend a great deal of silver to acquire instruction,
but, as a result, you will gain much gold.[a]
