24 How long will you deprive yourself of wisdom’s food,how long endure such bitter thirst?
25 I open my mouth and speak of her:gain wisdom for yourselves at no cost.
26 Take her yoke upon your neck;that your mind may receive her teaching.For she is close to those who seek her,and the one who is in earnest finds her.
27 See for yourselves! I have labored only a little,but have found much.
28 Acquire but a little instruction,and you will win silver and gold through her.
29 May your soul rejoice in God’s mercy;do not be ashamed to give him praise.
30 Work at your tasks in due season,and in his own time God will give you your reward.
