Sirach 20:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ There is a still man, which is found wise; and he (that) is hateful, which is fool-hardy to speak. [There is a still man, that is found wise; and there is an hateful, that is greedy to speak.]

⁶ Soothly there is a still man, not having wit of speech; and there is a still man, knowing the season of covenable, (or of suitable, or of opportune) time. [There is forsooth a still man, not having wit of speech; and there is a still man, witting time of covenable time.]

⁷ A wise man shall be still till to (the right) time; but a jolly man and unprudent man shall not keep time. [A wise man shall be still unto time; the reckless, or wild, forsooth and the unprudent shall not keep time.]
