Sirach 21:16DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 16 of 31

"The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood, and his counsel continueth like a fountain of life."
Sirach 21:16

In context

14He that is not wise in good, will not be taught.

15But there is a wisdom that aboundeth in evil: and there is no understanding where there is bitterness.

16The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood, and his counsel continueth like a fountain of life.

17The heart of a fool is like a broken vessel, and no wisdom at all shall it hold.

18A man of sense will praise every wise word he shall hear, and will apply it to himself: the luxurious man hath heard it, and it shall displease him, and he will cast it behind his back.
