Ben Sira 21:26

26 The heart of fools is in their mouth, but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.

Ben Sira 21:26 In-Context

24 It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door, but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.

25 The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them, but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance.

26 The heart of fools is in their mouth, but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.

27 When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul.

28 A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth.
