In context
5A concert of music in a banquet of wine Is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.
6As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, So is the melody of music with pleasant wine.
— Sirach 35:7 —
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.
