Sirach 6:19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹ Come to her like one who plows and sows,
    and wait for her good harvest.
For in her service you will toil a little while,
    and soon you will eat of her produce.
²⁰ She seems very harsh to the uninstructed;
    a weakling will not remain with her.
²¹ She will weigh him down like a heavy testing stone,
    and he will not be slow to cast her off.
