In context
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.
— Sirach 20:8 —
9There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things; And there is a gain that turneth to loss.
10There is a gift that shall not profit thee; And there is a gift whose recompense is double.
