Sirach 21:21

21 To the prudent, education is like a gold ornament, like a bracelet on the arm.

Sirach 21:21 In-Context

19 Education is shackles on the feet of the ignorant, like manacles on their hand.

20 Fools raise their voice in laughter, but clever people will smile subtly in silence.

21 To the prudent, education is like a gold ornament, like a bracelet on the arm.

22 The foolish enter quickly into a house, but experienced people will be ashamed to do so.

23 The senseless peer into a house through the door, but the educated will stand outside.
