of bullocks? Sir 38:26 He giveth his mind to make furrows; and is diligent to give the kine fodder. Sir 38:27 So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work: Sir 38:28 The smith also sitting by the anvil, and considering the iron work, the vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace: the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh; he setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish it perfectly: Sir 38:29 So doth the potter sitting at his work, and turning the wheel about with his feet, who is alway carefully set at his work, and maketh all his work by number; Sir 38:30 He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace: Sir 38:31 All these trust to their hands: and every one is wise in his work. Sir 38:32 Without these cannot a city be inhabited: and they shall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down: Sir 38:33 They shall not be sought for in publick counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges' seat, nor understand the sentence of judgment: they cannot declare justice and judgment; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken. Sir 38:34 But they will maintain the state of the world, and [all] their desire is in the work of their craft. Sir 39:1 But he that giveth his mind to the law of the most High, and is occupied in the meditation thereof, will seek out the wisdom of all the ancient, and be occupied in prophecies. Sir 39:2 He will keep the sayings of the renowned men: and where subtil parables are, he will be there also. Sir 39:3 He will seek out the secrets of grave sentences, and be conversant in dark parables. Sir 39:4 He shall serve among great men, and appear before princes: he will travel through strange countries; for he hath tried the good and the evil among men. Sir 39:5 He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and will pray before the most High, and will open his mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins. Sir 39:6 When the great Lord will, he shall be filled with the spirit
