In context
11Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; And with patience give answer.
12If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbor; If not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
— Sirach 5:13 —
14Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: For a foul shame is upon the thief, And an evil condemnation upon the double tongue.
15Be not ignorant of anything in a great matter or a small.
