Ben Sira 34:9-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 A much-traveled person knows many things;
and one with much experience speaks sense.
10 An inexperienced person knows little,
11 whereas with travel one adds to resourcefulness.
12 I have seen much in my travels,
and learned more than I could ever say.
13 Often I was in danger of death,
but by these experiences I was saved.
Proverbs 8:17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Those who love me I also love,
and those who seek me find me.
