Wisdom of Ben Sira 6:33-35

New Catholic Bible

³³ If you are willing to listen, you will learn,
    and if you pay attention, you will become wise.
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.
