Sirach 4:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁹ For by the tongue wisdom is discerned: and understanding, and knowledge, and learning by the word of the wise, and steadfastness in the works of justice.

³⁰ In nowise speak against the truth, but be ashamed of the lie of thy ignorance.

³¹ Be not ashamed to confess thy sins, but submit not thyself to every man for sin.
