Ben Sira 32:4

4 Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,

Ben Sira 32:4 In-Context

2 Have care of them, and so sit down, and when thou hast acquitted thyself of all thy charge, take thy place :
3 That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution.
4 Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,
5 To speak the first word with care knowledge, and hinder not music.
6 Where there is no hearing, pour out words, and be not lifted up out season with thy wisdom.
