Sirach 41:14-16
Revised Standard Version
14 My children, observe instruction and be at peace;
hidden wisdom and unseen treasure,
what advantage is there in either of them?
A Series of Contrasts
15 Better is the man who hides his folly
than the man who hides his wisdom.
16 Therefore show respect for my words:
For it is good to retain every kind of shame,
and not everything is confidently esteemed by every one.
