Sirach 4: 11-19

11The Rewards of Wisdom - Wisdom teaches her children and admonishes all who can understand her. 12Those who love her love life; those who seek her out win the LORD’s favor. 13Those who hold her fast will attain glory, and they shall abide in the blessing of the LORD. 14Those who serve her serve the Holy One; those who love her the Lord loves. 15“Whoever obeys me will judge nations; whoever listens to me will dwell in my inmost chambers. 16If they remain faithful, they will possess me; their descendants too will inherit me. 17“I will walk with them in disguise, and at first I will test them with trials. Fear and dread I will bring upon them and I will discipline them with my constraints. When their hearts are fully with me, 18then I will set them again on the straight path and reveal my secrets to them. 19But if they turn away from me, I will abandon them and deliver them over to robbers.”
Responsorial Psalm
