In context
14What is heavier than lead? and what is the name thereof, but a fool?
15Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear, than a man without understanding.
— Sirach 22:16 —
17A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plaistering on the wall of a gallery.
18Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.
