26     those who settled on Samaria’s hills,[a]
        the Philistines,
        and the foolish people
        who dwell in Shechem.

27 Instruction in understanding
and knowledge
were inscribed in this scroll
    by Jesus, Sirach’s son and grandson
    of Eleazar the Jerusalemite.[b]
    He poured forth wisdom from his heart.
28 Favored are those who devote their time
to these things;
    when they take them to heart,
    they will be wise.
