Sirach 35:10

⁸Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; Be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.

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

— Sirach 35:10 —

¹¹Rise up betimes, and be not the last; But get thee home without delay.

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