Ben Sira 27:12

12 If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.

Ben Sira 27:12 In-Context

10 As the lion lieth in wait for the prey, so is sin for them that work iniquity.

11 The discourse of a godly man is always with wisdom, but a fool changeth as the moon.

12 If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.

13 The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is in the wantonness of sin.

14 The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright, and their brawls make one stop his ears.
