Ben Sira 27:13

13 In the midst of the unwise keep in the word till its time: but be continually among men that think.

Ben Sira 27:13 In-Context

11 The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sine for them that work iniquities.

12 A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon.

13 In the midst of the unwise keep in the word till its time: but be continually among men that think.

14 The discourse of sinners is hateful, and their laughter is at the pleasures of sin.

15 The speech that sweareth much shall make the hair of the head stand upright: and its irreverence shall make one stop his ears.
