In context
11He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: And the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.
12He that is not wise will not be taught: But there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
— Sirach 21:13 —
14The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, And he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
15If a skillful man hear a wise word, He will commend it, and add unto it: But when one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, And he casteth it behind his back.
