In context
3And he that confesseth his fault shall be preserved from hurt.
4As is the lust of a eunuch to deflower a virgin; So is he that executeth judgment with violence.
— Sirach 20:5 —
6Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: And some keepeth silence, knowing his time.
7A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: But a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
