Sirach 4:22-24
Wycliffe Bible
22 Take thou not a face against thy face, that is, against thy soul, neither a leasing (or a lie) against thy soul.
23 Shame thou not thy neighbour in his fall[ing], neither withhold thou a word in the time of health.
24 Hide not thy wisdom in the fairness thereof; for why wisdom is known in (the) tongue, and wit, and cunning, (or knowing), and teaching in the word of a wise man; and steadfastness is in the works of rightfulness. [Hide thou not thy wisdom in the fairness of it; in the tongue forsooth wisdom is known, and wit, and cunning, and teaching, in the word of the well-feeling; and fastening in the works of rightwiseness.]
