Ecclesiasticus 32:9 Context
7Speake yong man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarsely when thou art twise asked: 8Let thy speach be short, comprehending much in few words, be as one that knoweth, and yet holdeth his tongue. 9If thou be among great men, make not thy selfe equall with them, and when ancient men are in place, vse not many words. 10Before the thunder goeth lightening: and before a shamefast man shall goe fauour. 11Rise vp betimes, and be not the last: but get thee home without delay.
