In context
26And filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes. Consider that I labored not for myself only, But for all them that seek learning.
27Hear me, O ye great men of the people, And hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation.
— Sirach 30:28 —
29As long as thou livest and hast breath in thee, Give not thyself over to any.
30For better it is that thy children should seek to thee, Than that thou shouldest stand to their courtesy.
