Ben Sira 27:12

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

Ben Sira 27:12 In-Context

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.

14 The talk of men given to swearing makes one's hair stand on end, and their quarrels make a man stop his ears.
