In context
24A lie is a foul blot in a man, Yet it is continually in the mouth of the untaught.
25A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to lie: But they both shall have destruction to heritage.
— Sirach 20:26 —
27A wise man shall promote himself to honor with his words: And he that hath understanding will please great men.
28He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: And he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.
