Sirach 4:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And thou shalt be as the obedient son of the most High, and he will have mercy on thee more than a mother.

¹² Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice.

¹³ And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness.
