Ecclesiasticus 20:5 Context
2It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly: and he that confesseth his fault shall be preserved from hurt. 3How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance! for so shalt thou escape wilful sin. 4As is the lust of an eunuch to deflower a virgin; so is he that executeth judgment with violence. 5There is one that keepeth silence, and is found wise: and another by much babbling becometh hateful. 6Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his time. 7A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time. 8He that useth many words shall be abhorred; and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.
