Sirach 32:11

⁹If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words.

¹⁰Before the thunder goeth lightning; and before a shamefaced man shall go favour.

— Sirach 32:11 —

¹²There take thy pastime, and do what thou wilt: but sin not by proud speech.

¹³And for these things bless him that made thee, and hath replenished thee with his good things.
