In context
15Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, are easier to bear, Than a man without understanding.
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.
— Sirach 22:17 —
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.
19He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: And he that pricketh the heart maketh it to show her knowledge.
