Sirach 6:18-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ Son, from thy youth take thou doctrine, and till to [thine] hoar hairs thou shalt find wisdom.

¹⁹ As he that erreth (or that ploweth), and that soweth, nigh (or approach) thou to it, and abide thou (for) the good fruits thereof. For thou shalt travail a little in the work thereof, and thou shalt eat soon of the generations thereof. [As he that erreth, and that soweth, nigh thou to it, and sustain the good fruits of it. In the work forsooth of it a little thou shalt travail, and soon thou shalt eat of the gettings of it.]

²⁰ Wisdom is over-sharp or is full-sharp to untaught men, and an heartless man shall not dwell therein. [How sharp full much is wisdom to unwise men, and there shall not abide still in it the heartless.]
