In context

14What is heavier than lead? And what is the name thereof, but a fool?

15Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, are easier to bear, Than a man without understanding.

— Sirach 22:16 —

17A heart settled upon a thought of understanding Is as a fair plastering on the wall of a gallery.

18Pales set on a high place will never stand against the wind: So a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.
