Sirach 51:23-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²³ Draw near to me, you who are uneducated,
    and lodge in the house of instruction.^(A)
24 Why do you say you are lacking in these things,^[a]
    and why do you endure such great thirst?
²⁵ I opened my mouth and said,
    “Acquire wisdom^[b] for yourselves without money.^(B)

²⁶ “Put your neck under her^[c] yoke,
    and let your souls receive instruction;
    it is to be found close by.”^(C)
