Ben Sira 20:8

8 He that useth many words shall be abhorred, and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.

Ben Sira 20:8 In-Context

6 Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not the answer; and some keepeth silence, knowing his time.

7 A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity, but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.

8 He that useth many words shall be abhorred, and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.

9 There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things, and there is a gain that turneth to loss.

10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee, and there is a gift whose recompense is double.
