Ben Sira 39:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 If it pleases the Lord Almighty,
he will be filled with the spirit of understanding;
He will pour forth his words of wisdom
and in prayer give praise to the Lord.
7 He will direct his knowledge and his counsel,
as he meditates upon God’s mysteries.
8 He will show the wisdom of what he has learned
and glory in the Law of the Lord’s covenant.
