Sirach 20:26-28

Wycliffe Bible

²⁶ The manners of men leasing-mongers [or liars] be without honour; and their shame is with them without ceasing.

²⁷ A wise man in words shall bring forth himself; and a prudent man shall please great men.

²⁸ He that worketh his land, shall make high the heap of fruits; and he that worketh rightfulness, shall be enhanced (or exalted) [or and who worketh rightwiseness, he shall much be enhanced]. Soothly he that pleaseth great men, shall escape wickedness.
