I love this chapter. It begins with Ben Sira telling us that Wisdom begins with God and comes forth from God to cover the earth "like a mist" (verse 3). So wisdom can be found everywhere, but God chose to let wisdom "dwell" with the people of Israel. Wisdom was sent to dwell with them (verse 8).
In this chapter wisdom is abundant..."Come you who desire me, and eat your fill of my fruit" v19 Like a canal from a river or a water channel into a garden...wisdom gives us life an dhelps us to grow!
