Ben Sira 41:14

14 My children, keep discipline in peace; for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both?

Ben Sira 41:14 In-Context

12 Have regard for thy name, for that shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold.
13 A good life hath but few days, but a good name endureth for ever.
14 My children, keep discipline in peace; for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both?
15 A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man that hideth his wisdom.
16 Therefore be shamefaced according to my word; for it is not good to retain all shamefacedness, neither is it altogether approved in every thing.
