Sirach 20:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ Soothly there is a still man, not having wit of speech; and there is a still man, knowing the season of covenable, (or of suitable, or of opportune) time. [There is forsooth a still man, not having wit of speech; and there is a still man, witting time of covenable time.]

⁷ A wise man shall be still till to (the right) time; but a jolly man and unprudent man shall not keep time. [A wise man shall be still unto time; the reckless, or wild, forsooth and the unprudent shall not keep time.]

⁸ He that useth many words, hurteth his soul; and he that taketh power to himself unjustly [or wrongfully], shall be hated.
