Ben Sira 27:11

11 The conversation of the godly is always wise, but the fool changes like the moon.

Ben Sira 27:11 In-Context

9 Birds roost with their own kind, so honesty comes home to those who practice it.

10 A lion lies in wait for prey; so does sin for evildoers.

11 The conversation of the godly is always wise, but the fool changes like the moon.

12 Among stupid people limit your time, but among thoughtful people linger on.

13 The talk of fools is offensive, and their laughter is wantonly sinful.
