Sirach 4:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ Reverence not thy neighbour in his fall:

²⁸ And refrain not to speak in the time of salvation. Hide not thy wisdom in her beauty.

²⁹ For by the tongue wisdom is discerned: and understanding, and knowledge, and learning by the word of the wise, and steadfastness in the works of justice.
