Ben Sira 20:31

31 But a person who covers up his foolishness is better than one who keeps his wisdom to himself.

Ben Sira 20:31 In-Context

29 Gifts and bribes make even the wise blind to the truth, and prevent them from being honest in their criticism.
30 Wisdom that is not expressed is like a treasure that has been hidden - both are useless.
31 But a person who covers up his foolishness is better than one who keeps his wisdom to himself.
