Sirach 21:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Fools raise their voices when they laugh,
but the wise[a] smile quietly.(A)
21 To the sensible, education is like a golden ornament
and like a bracelet on the right arm.
22 The foot of a fool rushes into a house,
but an experienced person waits respectfully outside.(B)
