Sirach 36:24-26
Common English Bible
24 As the palate tastes different
types of game,
so an intelligent mind tests[a] false words.
25 A perverse heart will cause grief,
but an experienced person
will know how to give payback.
26 A woman will accept any male
as a husband,[b]
but some daughters are preferable
to other ones.
