Sirach 21:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
15 When an intelligent person hears a wise saying,
he praises it and adds to it;
when a fool[a] hears it, he laughs at[b] it
and throws it behind his back.
16 A fool’s chatter is like a burden on a journey,
but delight is found in the speech of the intelligent.
17 The utterance of a sensible person is sought in the assembly,
and they ponder his words in their minds.
