Wisdom of Ben Sira 20:28-30
New Catholic Bible
28 He who tills his soil has an abundant harvest;
he who pleases the great will secure pardon for offenses.
29 Favors and gifts blind the eyes of the wise;
like a muzzle over the mouth they silence criticism.
30 [a]Hidden wisdom and unseen treasure—
of what value is either?
