Sirach 20:19-22 World English Bible (WEB)

19. A man without grace is as a tale out of season: It will be continually in the mouth of the ignorant.

20. A wise sentence from a fool’s mouth will be rejected; For he will not speak it in its season.

21. There is that is hindered from sinning through lack; And when he takes rest, he shall not be troubled.

22. There is that destroys his soul through bashfulness; And by a foolish countenance he will destroy it.
