Sirach 41:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both?

¹⁸ Better is the man that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom.

¹⁹ Wherefore have a shame of these things I am now going to speak of.
