Ben Sira 21:21

Listen to Ben Sira 21:21
21 To the sensible person education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.

Ben Sira 21:21 In-Context

19 To a senseless person education is fetters on his feet, and like manacles on his right hand.
20 A fool raises his voice when he laughs, but the wise smile quietly.
21 To the sensible person education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.
22 The foot of a fool rushes into a house, but an experienced person waits respectfully outside.
23 A boor peers into the house from the door, but a cultivated person remains outside.
