Ben Sira 1:24

24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.

Ben Sira 1:24 In-Context

22 A furious man cannot be justified, for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.

23 A patient man will bear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.

24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.

25 The parables of knowledge are in the treasuries of wisdom, but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.

26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
