Sirach 33:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁷ by the blessing of the Lord I arrived first,
    and like a grape-picker I filled my wine press.
¹⁸ Consider that I have not laboured for myself alone,
    but for all who seek instruction.
¹⁹ Hear me, you who are great among the people,
    and you leaders of the congregation, pay heed!
