Sirach 18:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise to him that findeth her.

²⁹ They that were of good understanding in words, have also done wisely themselves: and have understood truth and justice, and have poured forth proverbs and judgments.

³⁰ Go not after thy lusts, but turn away from thy own will.
