Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 4 of 28

"Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,"
Sirach 32:4

In context

2Have care of them, and so sit down, and when thou hast acquitted thyself of all thy charge, take thy place:

3That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution.

4Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,

5To speak the first word with care knowledge, and hinder not music.

6Where there is no hearing, pour out words, and be not lifted up out season with thy wisdom.
