Sirach 20:27-29
Common English Bible
Proverbial sayingsl[a]
27 Wise people distinguish themselves
by their words,
and prudent people will please
the powerful.
28 Those who work the soil
will pile up their harvest,
and those who please the powerful
will secure reconciliation for injuries.
29 Friendly relationships and gifts
will blind the eyes of the wise;
like a muzzle on a mouth,
they turn away reproof.
