In context
13Talk not much with a fool, And go not to him that hath no understanding: Beware of him, lest thou have trouble, And thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: Depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, And never be disquieted with madness.
14What is heavier than lead? And what is the name thereof, but a fool?
— Sirach 22:15 —
16As timber girded and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: So the heart that is established by advised counsel shall fear at no time.
17A heart settled upon a thought of understanding Is as a fair plastering on the wall of a gallery.
