Sirach 36:17-19
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of thy servants,
according to the blessing of Aaron for thy people,
and all who are on the earth will know
that thou art the Lord, the God of the ages.
Concerning Discrimination
18 The stomach will take any food,
yet one food is better than another.
19 As the palate tastes the kinds of game,
so an intelligent mind detects false words.
