Sirach 16:22-24
Common English Bible

22 Who will announce just actions?
    Or who will endure,
    since God’s covenant is far off?”[a]
23 Those who lack sense think this way;
    a foolish and misguided person
    thinks foolish things.

Wisdom and the creation of humans

24 Listen to me, my child: gain knowledge
    and apply your mind to my words.
