Sirach 24:23–34

As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. 24I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. 25In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. 26Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits. 27For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb. 28My memory is unto everlasting generations. 29They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst. 30He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin. 31They that explain me shall have life everlasting. 32All these things are the book of life, and the covenant of the most High, and the knowledge of truth. 33Moses commanded a law in the precepts of justices, and an inheritance to the house of Jacob, and the promises to Israel. 34He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever.
