Sirach 41:17DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 17 of 28
"My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both?"
In context
15Take care of a good name: for this shall continue with thee, more than a thousand treasures precious and great.
16A good life hath its number of days: but a good name shall continue for ever.
17My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both?
18Better is the man that hideth his folly, then the man that hideth his wisdom.
19Wherefore have a shame of these things I am now going to speak of.
