Sirach 21:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ Learning to the prudent is as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.

²⁵ The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty.

²⁶ A fool will peep through the window into the house: but he that is well taught will stand without.
