Good evening: Wisdom of Sirach- “Students of God’s Words” - Chapter 39:1-11- See Notes

Wisdom of Sirach 39:1-11

How different the person who devotes himself

to the study of the law of the Most High!

1He explores the wisdom of all the ancients

and is occupied with the prophecies;

2He preserves the discourses of the famous,

and goes to the heart of involved sayings;

3He seeks out the hidden meaning of proverbs,

and is busied with the enigmas found in parables.

4He is in attendance on the great,

and appears before rulers.

He travels among the peoples of foreign lands

to test what is good and evil among people.

5His care is to rise early

to seek the Lord his Maker,

to petition the Most High,

To open his mouth in prayer,

to ask pardon for his sins.

6If it pleases the Lord Almighty,

he will be filled with the spirit of understanding;

He will pour forth his words of wisdom

and in prayer give praise to the Lord.

7He will direct his knowledge and his counsel,

as he meditates upon God’s mysteries.

8He will show the wisdom of what he has learned

and glory in the Law of the Lord’s covenant.

9Many will praise his understanding;

his name can never be blotted out;

Unfading will be his memory,

through all generations his name will live;a

10Peoples will speak of his wisdom,

and the assembly will declare his praise.

11While he lives he is one out of a thousand,

and when he dies he leaves a good name.

"All those who "STUDY" the Scriptures (God's Word) have been described right here in this beautiful summary out of the WISDOM OF SIRACH. A modern- day equivalent would be the one who be the "SEMINARIAN" (Seminary School), and is one who learns both the Old and New Testaments. "ANCIENTS" would be the apostles and the church fathers.

"WE ASK IN PRAYER, WE SEEK IN LEARNING, AND WE KNOCK BY DOING GOD'S WILL"

Tomorrow evening -our Book of Jeremiah study will start back-

Numbers 6:24-26

“The Lord bless you and keep you;

25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,

And be gracious to you;

26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you,

And give you peace.” ’
