Sirach 51:25
King James VersionSource notes
“I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money.”
Context
22The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.
23Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning.
24Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye to these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty?
25I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money.
26Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find.
27Behold with your eyes, how that I have but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest.
28Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much gold by her.
