Ben Sira 20:2 In-Context

1 There is a rebuke that is untimely, and there is the person who is wise enough to keep silent.
2 How much better it is to rebuke than to fume!
3 And the one who admits his fault will be kept from failure.
4 Like a eunuch lusting to violate a girl is the person who does right under compulsion.
5 Some people keep silent and are thought to be wise, while others are detested for being talkative.
