Ben Sira 27:11

11 The discourse of a godly man is always with wisdom, but a fool changeth as the moon.

Ben Sira 27:11 In-Context

9 The birds will resort unto their like; so will truth return unto them that practice in her.

10 As the lion lieth in wait for the prey, so is sin for them that work iniquity.

11 The discourse of a godly man is always with wisdom, but a fool changeth as the moon.

12 If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.

13 The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is in the wantonness of sin.
