Sirach 39:4-8 World English Bible (WEB)

4. He will serve among great men, And appear before him that rules: He will travel through the land of strange nations; For he has tried good things and evil among men.

5. He will apply his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, And will make supplication before the Most High, And will open his mouth in prayer, And will make supplication for his sins.

6. If the great Lord will, He shall be filled with the spirit of understanding: He shall pour forth the words of his wisdom, And in prayer give thanks to the Lord.

7. He shall direct his counsel and knowledge, And in his secrets shall he meditate.

8. He shall show forth the instruction which he has been taught, And shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.
