Sirach 20:1-5 World English Bible (WEB)

1. There is a reproof that is not comely; And there is a man that keeps silence, and he is wise.

2. How good is it to reprove, rather than to be angry; And he that makes confession shall be kept back from hurt.

4. As is the lust of an eunuch to deflower a virgin; So is he that executes judgements with violence.

5. There is one that keeps silence, and is found wise; And there is one that is hated for his much talk.
