Ben Sira 34:9

9 An educated man knows many things, and one with much experience will speak with understanding.

Ben Sira 34:9 In-Context

7 For dreams have deceived many, and those who put their hope in them have failed.
8 Without such deceptions the law will be fulfilled, and wisdom is made perfect in truthful lips.
9 An educated man knows many things, and one with much experience will speak with understanding.
10 He that is inexperienced knows few things, but he that has traveled acquires much cleverness.
11 I have seen many things in my travels, and I understand more than I can express.
