The Future of Bible Study Is Here.
Sirach 20:5–8
5 Some people keep silent and are thought to be wise,
while others are detested for being talkative.
6 Some people keep silent because they have nothing to say,
while others keep silent because they know when to speak.
7 The wise remain silent until the right moment,
but a boasting fool misses the right moment.
8 Whoever talks too much is detested,
and whoever pretends to authority is hated.a
a | Other ancient authorities add How good it is to show repentance when you are reproved, for so you will escape deliberate sin! |
