Sirach 4:24-27 World English Bible (WEB)

24. For by speech wisdom shall be known; And instruction by the word of the tongue.

25. Speak not against the truth; And be abashed for your ignorance.

26. Be not ashamed to make confession of your sins; And force not the current of the river.

27. Lay not yourself down for a fool to tread upon; And accept not the person of one that is mighty.
