Ecclesiasticus 21:23 Context
21Learning is vnto a wise man, as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet vpon his right arme. 22A foolish mans foote is soone in his [neighbours] house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him. 23A foole will peepe in at the doore into the house, but he that is well nurtured, will stand without. 24It is the rudenesse of a man to hearken at the doore: but a wise man will be grieued with the disgrace. 25The lips of talkers will bee telling such things as pertaine not vnto them: but the words of such as haue vnderstanding, are weighed in the ballance.
