Ben Sira 18:29

29 They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables.

Ben Sira 18:29 In-Context

27 A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the day of sinning he will beware of offense; but a fool will not observe time.

28 Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise unto him that found her.

29 They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables.

30 Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.

31 If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee.
