Ben Sira 32:6

6 As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so is the melody of music with pleasant wine.

Ben Sira 32:6 In-Context

4 Pour not out words where there is a musician, and show not forth wisdom out of time.

5 A concert of music in a banquet of wine is as a signet of ruby set in gold.

6 As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so is the melody of music with pleasant wine.

7 Speak, young man, if there be need of thee, and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked.

8 Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.
