Ben Sira 36:24

24 As the palate tastes the kinds of game, so an intelligent mind detects false words.

Ben Sira 36:24 In-Context

22 Hear, O Lord, the prayer of your servants, according to your goodwill toward your people, and all who are on the earth will know that you are the Lord, the God of the ages.

23 The stomach will take any food, yet one food is better than another.

24 As the palate tastes the kinds of game, so an intelligent mind detects false words.

25 A perverse mind will cause grief, but a person with experience will pay him back.

26 A woman will accept any man as a husband, but one girl is preferable to another.
