Wisdom of Ben Sira 22:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 What is heavier than lead,
and what is its name but “Fool”?
15 Sand, salt, and a lump of iron
are easier to bear than a stupid man.
16 A wooden beam firmly bonded into a building
is not dislodged by an earthquake.
So, too, a mind firmly resolved after due reflection
will not be shaken in a moment of crisis.
