Sirach 21:7

7 Those who are powerful in speech are widely known, but those who are thoughtful know when they slip.

Sirach 21:7 In-Context

5 The petition of the poor goes from their mouth to God's ears, and his judgment comes quickly.

6 Anyone who hates reproof walks in the footsteps of a sinner, and those who fear the Lord will turn back to him from the heart.

7 Those who are powerful in speech are widely known, but those who are thoughtful know when they slip.

8 Those who build their houses with another person's money are like those who gather stones for their own burial mound.

9 A gathering of lawless people is the same as bundled flax; their end is a flaming fire.
