Sirach 41:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ A good life lasts only so long, but a good reputation will last forever.

A Sense of Decency

¹⁴ My children, do as I teach you and live at peace. Wisdom that is not expressed is like a treasure that has been hidden—both are useless. ¹⁵ A person who covers up his foolishness is better than one who keeps his wisdom to himself.
