Ben Sira 27:11

11 The talk of the godly man is always wise, but the fool changes like the moon.

Ben Sira 27:11 In-Context

9 Birds flock with their kind; so truth returns to those who practice it.

10 A lion lies in wait for prey; so does sin for the workers of iniquity.

11 The talk of the godly man is always wise, but the fool changes like the moon.

12 Among stupid people watch for a chance to leave, but among thoughtful people stay on.

13 The talk of fools is offensive, and their laughter is wantonly sinful.
