Sirach 21:20-22
Common English Bible
20 Fools raise their voice in laughter,
but clever people will smile subtly
in silence.
21 To the prudent,
education is like a gold ornament,
like a bracelet on the arm.
22 The foolish enter quickly into a house,
but experienced people
will be ashamed to do so.[a]
