Revised Standard Version
Sirach 41:13-15
Revised Standard Version
13 The days of a good life are numbered,
but a good name endures for ever.
14 My children, observe instruction and be at peace;
hidden wisdom and unseen treasure,
what advantage is there in either of them?
A Series of Contrasts
15 Better is the man who hides his folly
than the man who hides his wisdom.
