Listen to this book from around 170 BCE and known as the Book of Sirach, also known as the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach or the Wisdom of Simeon ben Yeshua ben Eleazar ben Sira or the Book of Ecclesiasticus. This is a reading of the version published by Mary Tileston Wilder in 1878 as The Wisdom of Jesus, the Son of Sirach, Or, Ecclesiasticus. You may read along if you wish.
