Sirach 21:17DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 17 of 31
"The heart of a fool is like a broken vessel, and no wisdom at all shall it hold."
In context
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.
19The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but in the lips of the wise, grace shall be found.
