Sirach 41:15-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. Have concern for your good name. For this will continue with you, more so than a thousand precious and great treasures.

16. A good life has its number of days, but a good name will continue forever.

17. Sons, practice discipline peacefully. For what use is there in either concealed wisdom, or undiscovered treasure?

18. Better is the man who hides his foolishness than the man who hides his wisdom.

19. Yet truly, have respect for these things which proceed from my mouth.
