Ben Sira 18:25-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. Think of the time of hunger in the time of plenty,poverty and need in the day of wealth.

26. Between morning and evening there is a change of time;before the Lord all things are fleeting.

27. The wise are discreet in all things;where sin is rife they keep themselves from wrongdoing.

28. Every wise person teaches wisdom,and those who know her declare her praise;

29. Those skilled in words become wise themselves,and pour forth apt proverbs.
