Sirach 33:17-19
Common English Bible
17 By the blessing of the Lord,
I was first on the scene,
and like the grape pickers,
I filled up a wine vat.
18 Understand that I haven’t labored
for myself alone,
but for all those who are seeking instruction.
On independence
19 Listen to me, you who are great
among the people;
pay attention,
you leaders in the congregation.
