Ben Sira 20:30

30 Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both?

Ben Sira 20:30 In-Context

28 He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap, and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.

29 Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and stop up his mouth that he cannot reprove.

30 Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both?

31 Better is he that hideth his folly than a man that hideth his wisdom.

32 Necessary patience in seeking the Lord is better than he that leadeth his life without a guide.
