Ben Sira 21:20

20 A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter, but a wise man doth scarce smile a little.

Ben Sira 21:20 In-Context

18 As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool; and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense.

19 Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand.

20 A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter, but a wise man doth scarce smile a little.

21 Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.

22 A foolish man's foot is soon in his neighbor's house, but a man of experience is ashamed of him.
