Sirach 36:16–21

16 Reward those who wait for thee,

and let thy prophets be found trustworthy.

17 Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of thy servants,

according to the blessing of Aaron for thy people,

and all who are on the earth will know

that thou art the Lord, the God of the ages.

18 The stomach will take any food,

yet one food is better than another.

19 As the palate tastes the kinds of game,

so an intelligent mind detects false words.

20 A perverse mind will cause grief,

but a man of experience will pay him back.

21 A woman will accept any man,

but one daughter is better than another.
