Sirach 14:20–27

20  uBlessed is the man that doth meditate good things in wisdom,

And that reasoneth of holy things by his understanding.

21  xHe that considereth her ways in his heart

Shall also have understanding in her secrets.

22  Go after her as one that traceth,

And lie in wait in her ways.

23  He that yprieth in at her windows

zShall also hearken at her doors.

24  He that doth lodge near her house

Shall also fasten a * apin in her walls.

25  He shall pitch his tent nigh unto her,

And bshall lodge in a lodging where good things are.

26  He shall set his children under her shelter,

And shall lodge under her branches.

27  By her he shall be ccovered from heat,

And in her glory shall he dwell.
