Ecclesiasticus 20:20 Context
18To slip vpon a pauement, is better then to slip with the tongue: so, the fall of the wicked shall come speedily. 19An vnseasonable tale will alwayes be in the mouth of the vnwise. 20A wise sentence shall be reiected when it commeth out of a fools mouth: for he will not speake it in due season. 21There is that is hindred from sinning through want: and when hee taketh rest, he shall not be troubled. 22There is that destroyeth his owne soule through bashfulnesse, and by accepting of persons ouerthroweth himselfe.
