Ben Sira 21:23

23 A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself.

Ben Sira 21:23 In-Context

21 As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool : and the knowledge of the unwise is as words without sense.

22 Doctrine to a fool is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand.

23 A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself.

24 Learning to the prudent is as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.

25 The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty.
