In context
15Even from the flower till the grape was ripe Hath my heart delighted in her: My foot went the right way, From my youth up sought I after her.
16I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, And got much learning.
— Sirach 51:17 —
18For I purposed to do after her, And earnestly I followed that which is good; So shall I not be confounded.
19My soul hath wrestled with her, And in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, And bewailed my ignorances of her.
