In context
26The disposition of a liar is dishonorable, And his shame is ever with him.
27A wise man shall promote himself to honor with his words: And he that hath understanding will please great men.
— Sirach 20:28 —
29Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, And stop up his mouth that he cannot reprove.
30Wisdom that is hidden, and treasure that is hoarded up, What profit is in them both?
