Sirach 16:22-24
Common English Bible
22 Who will announce just actions?
Or who will endure,
since God’s covenant is far off?”[a]
23 Those who lack sense think this way;
a foolish and misguided person
thinks foolish things.
Wisdom and the creation of humans
24 Listen to me, my child: gain knowledge
and apply your mind to my words.
