Sirach 20:25-27
Common English Bible

25 A thief is preferable to someone
who continuously lies,
    but both will inherit destruction.
26 The character of liars is dishonorable;
    their shame is continuously
    with them.

Proverbial sayingsl[a]

27 Wise people distinguish themselves
by their words,
    and prudent people will please
    the powerful.
