Sirach 32:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 A seal of emerald in a rich setting of gold
is the melody of music with good wine.
7 Speak, young man, if there is need of you,
but no more than twice, and only if asked.
8 Speak concisely, say much in few words;
be as one who knows and yet holds his tongue.
