Ben Sira 37:19 In-Context

17 As a clue to changes of heart
18 four turns of fortune appear, good and evil, life and death; and it is the tongue that continually rules them.
19 A man may be shrewd and the teacher of many, and yet be unprofitable to himself.
20 A man skilled in words may be hated; he will be destitute of all food,
21 for grace was not given him by the Lord, since he is lacking in all wisdom.
