Sirach 20:25-27

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁵ A thief is preferable to a habitual liar,
    but the lot of both is ruin.
²⁶ A liar’s way leads to disgrace,
    and his shame is ever with him.

²⁷ The wise person advances himself by his words,
    and one who is sensible pleases the great.
