Ben Sira 18:29 In-Context

27 A wise man is cautious in everything, and in days of sin he guards against wrongdoing.

28 Every intelligent man knows wisdom, and he praises the one who finds her.

29 Those who understand sayings become skilled themselves, and pour forth apt proverbs.

30 Do not follow your base desires, but restrain your appetites.

31 If you allow your soul to take pleasure in base desire, it will make you the laughingstock of your enemies.
