Sirach 36:23-25
Common English Bible
Wives, friends, and counselors
23 The stomach will accept any food,
but one kind of food
is better than another.
24 As the palate tastes different
types of game,
so an intelligent mind tests[a] false words.
25 A perverse heart will cause grief,
but an experienced person
will know how to give payback.
Footnotes
- Sirach 36:24 LXX lacks tests.
