Ecclesiasticus 20:5-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech.

6. There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time.

7. A wise man will hold his peace till he see opportunity: but a babbler, and a fool, will regard no time.

8. He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated.

9. There is success in evil things to a man without discipline, and there is a finding that turneth to loss.
