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.
— Sirach 20:29 —
30Wisdom that is hidden, and treasure that is hoarded up, What profit is in them both?
31Better is he that hideth his folly Than a man that hideth his wisdom.
