Sirach 27:11-13
Revised Standard Version
Varieties of Speech
11 The talk of the godly man is always wise,
but the fool changes like the moon.
12 Among stupid people watch for a chance to leave,
but among thoughtful people stay on.
13 The talk of fools is offensive,
and their laughter is wantonly sinful.
