Listen to Ben Sira 21:21
21 To a sensible man education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.

Ben Sira 21:21 In-Context

19 To a senseless man education is fetters on his feet, and like manacles on his right hand.
20 A fool raises his voice when he laughs, but a clever man smiles quietly.
21 To a sensible man education is like a golden ornament, and like a bracelet on the right arm.
22 The foot of a fool rushes into a house, but a man of experience stands respectfully before it.
23 A boor peers into the house from the door, but a cultivated man remains outside.
