Wisdom of Ben Sira 6:34-36

New Catholic Bible

³⁴ When you frequent the company of the elders,
    if there is anyone who is wise, attach yourself to him.
³⁵ Listen eagerly to every godly conversation;
    allow no expression of wisdom to escape you.
³⁶ If you see a man of understanding, rise early to visit him;
    let your feet wear out his doorstep.
