Sirach 1:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ They will hide their words
until the right moment,
    and many will talk about
    their good judgment.

²⁵ There are intelligent proverbs
in Wisdom’s treasuries,
    but sinners avoid godliness
    like the plague.
²⁶ If you want to find Wisdom,
then keep the commandments,
    and the Lord will supply her to you in
    vast quantities.
