The end of Ben Sira 50 reads: “Training in wise conduct, and smooth- running proverbs have been written in this book of Yeshua ben Eleazar ben Sira, who poured them out from his understanding heart. Happy the one who reflects on these, wise will be who takes them to heart! If he carries them out, he will be equal to any challenge, for the fear of the Lord will provide him with depth” (v.27-29).
