Wisdom of Ben Sira 21:20-22
New Catholic Bible
20 A fool laughs at the top of his voice,
but a prudent man smiles quietly.
21 Like an ornament of gold is instruction to a sensible man,
like a bracelet on his right arm.
22 A fool steps boldly into a house,
whereas the well-bred person waits outside respectfully.
