Ecclesiasticus 20:29 Context
26The disposition of a liar is dishonourable, and his shame is ever with him. 27A wise man shall promote himself to honour with his words: and he that hath understanding will please great men. 28He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity. 29Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and stop up his mouth that he cannot reprove. 30Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both? 31Better is he that hideth his folly than a man that hideth his wisdom. 32Necessary patience in seeking the Lord is better than he that leadeth his life without a guide.
