Sirach 39:4-6

Wycliffe Bible

⁴ He shall minister in the midst of great men; and he shall appear in the sight of the chief judge. He shall pass into the land of alien folks; for he shall assay goods, and evils in all things.

⁵ He shall give his heart to wake early to the Lord that made him; and he shall beseech [or he shall lowly pray] in the sight of the Highest. He shall open his mouth in prayer; and he shall beseech for his trespasses.

⁶ For if the great Lord will (or desire to), he shall fill him with the spirit of understanding. And he shall send the words of his wisdom, as rains; and in prayer he shall acknowledge to the Lord.
