The Author’s Signature and Farewell[a]
27 Instruction in understanding and knowledge
I have written in this book,
I, Jesus, son of Sirach, son of Eleazar, of Jerusalem,
whose heart has poured forth a fountain of wisdom.
28 Blessed is the one who devotes himself to these things;
if he takes them to heart, wisdom will be his.
