Ben Sira 41:14

14 My children, be true to your training and be at peace; hidden wisdom and unseen treasure— of what value is either?

Ben Sira 41:14 In-Context

12 Have regard for your name, since it will outlive you longer than a thousand hoards of gold.
13 The days of a good life are numbered, but a good name lasts forever.
14 My children, be true to your training and be at peace; hidden wisdom and unseen treasure— of what value is either?
15 Better are those who hide their folly than those who hide their wisdom.
16 Therefore show respect for my words; for it is not good to feel shame in every circumstance, nor is every kind of abashment to be approved.
