Ben Sira 20:26

Listen to Ben Sira 20:26

Ben Sira 20:26 In-Context

24 Lying is an ugly blot on a person's character, but ignorant people do it all the time.
25 A thief is better than a habitual liar, but both are headed for ruin.
26 A liar has no honor. He lives in constant disgrace.
27 Speak wisely, and you will get ahead in the world. Influential people appreciate good sense.
28 They will excuse your errors if they like you, so cultivate the soil and reap the harvest!
Scripture taken from the Good News Translation - Second Edition, Copyright 1992 by American Bible Society. Used by Permission.
