Ben Sira 9:15

15 Let thy talk be with the wise, and all thy communication in the law of the Most High.

Ben Sira 9:15 In-Context

13 Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill; so shalt thou not doubt the fear of death. And if thou come unto him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life presently. Remember that thou goest in the midst of snares, and that thou walkest upon the battlements of the city.

14 As near as thou canst, guess at thy neighbor, and consult with the wise.

15 Let thy talk be with the wise, and all thy communication in the law of the Most High.

16 And let just men eat and drink with thee; and let thy glorying be in the fear of the Lord.

17 For the hand of the artificer the work shall be commended, and the wise ruler of the people for his speech.
