Ben Sira 20:20

20 A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool's mouth, for he will not speak it in due season.

Ben Sira 20:20 In-Context

18 To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue; so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.

19 An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise.

20 A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool's mouth, for he will not speak it in due season.

21 There is one that is hindered from sinning through want, and when he taketh rest he shall not be troubled.

22 There is one that destroyeth his own soul through bashfulness, and by accepting of persons overthroweth himself.
