Sirach 15:10
Praise must be spoken in wisdom, and the Lord will cause it to prosper.
For wisdom came forth from God: for praise shall be with the wisdom of God, and shall abound in a faithful mouth, and the sovereign Lord will give praise unto it.
A hymn should be an expression of wisdom, inspired by the Lord himself.
But praise is uttered by the mouth of the wise, and its rightful owner teaches it.
Praise is uttered only by the tongue of the wise, and the Lord himself prompts it.
For in wisdom must praise be uttered, and the Lord will make it prosper.
For in wisdom must praise be uttered, and the Lord will make it prosper.
For in wisdom must praise be uttered, and the Lord will make it prosper.
For in wisdom must praise be uttered, and the Lord will make it prosper.
For a hymn of praise should be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.
For a hymn of praise should be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.
For why wisdom went forth from God; forsooth praising shall stand nigh (to) the wisdom of God, and it shall be plenteous [or abound] in a faithful mouth, and the Lord shall give it to him.
