This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

An invitation to learn

Sir 51:23–30

23 Draw near to me, all you who are uneducated,

and live in the house of instruction.

24 Why therefore are you all lacking in these things,

and your souls are very thirsty?

25 I opened my mouth and spoke,

“Get her for yourselves without money.”

26 Put your neck under the yoke,

and let your soul receive instruction.

She is near to find.


27 See with your eyes

how that I laboured just a little

and found for myself much rest.

28 Get instruction with a great sum of silver,

and gain much gold by her.

29 May your soul rejoice in his mercy,

and may you all not be put to shame in praising him.

30 Work your work before the time comes,

and in his time he will give you your reward.
