Ben Sira 20:8

Listen to Ben Sira 20:8
8 No one can stand a person who talks too long and will not give others a chance to speak.

Ben Sira 20:8 In-Context

6 Some people keep quiet because they don't have anything to say; others keep quiet because they know the right time to speak.
7 A wise person will not speak until the right moment, but a bragging fool doesn't know when that time is.
8 No one can stand a person who talks too long and will not give others a chance to speak.
9 Bad luck can sometimes lead to success, and a stroke of good luck can sometimes lead to loss.
10 Generosity will sometimes do you no good, but at other times it will repay you double.
Scripture taken from the Good News Translation - Second Edition, Copyright 1992 by American Bible Society. Used by Permission.
