Sirach 20:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.

²⁹ A wise man shall advance himself with his words, and a prudent man shall please the great ones.

³⁰ He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity.
