Ecclesiasticus 21:7 Context
5A prayer out of a poore mans mouth reacheth to the eares of God, and his iudgement commeth speedily. 6He that hateth to be reprooued, is in the way of sinners: but hee that feareth the Lord, will repent from his heart. 7An eloquent man is knowen farre and neere, but a man of vnderstanding knoweth when he slippeth. 8He that buildeth his house with other mens money, is like one that gathereth himselfe stones for the tombe of his buriall. 9The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them.
