"He that hath not been tried, what manner of things doth he know? he that hath been surprised, shall abound with subtlety."
Sirach 34:11

In context

9What doth he know, that hath not been tried? A man that hath much experience, shall think of many things: and he that hath learned many things, shall shew forth understanding.

10He that hath no experience, knoweth little: and he that hath been experienced in many things, multiplieth prudence.

11He that hath not been tried, what manner of things doth he know? he that hath been surprised, shall abound with subtlety.

12I have seen many things by travelling, and many customs of things.

13Sometimes I have been in danger of death for these things, and I have been delivered by the grace of God.
