Sirach 4:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

³⁰ In nowise speak against the truth, but be ashamed of the lie of thy ignorance.
