Sirach 34:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ The word of the law shall be fulfilled without a lie, and wisdom shall be made plain in the mouth of the faithful.

⁹ What doth he know, that hath not been tried? A man that hath much experience, shall think of many things: and he that hath learned many things, shall shew forth understanding.

¹⁰ He that hath no experience, knoweth little: and he that hath been experienced in many things, multiplieth prudence.
