Ecclesiasticus 20:25 Context
23There is that for bashfulnes promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing. 24A lie is a foule blot in a man, yet it is continually in the mouth of the vntaught. 25A thiefe is better then a man that is accustomed to lie: but they both shall haue destruction to heritage. 26The disposition of a liar is dishonourable, and his shame is euer with him. 27A wise man shall promote himselfe to honour with his words: and hee that hath vnderstanding, will please great men.
