Ecclesiasticus 27:7

Ecclesiasticus 27:7 Context

⁴As when one sifteth with a sieve, the refuse remaineth; so the filth of man in his talk. ⁵The furnace proveth the potter's vessels; so the trial of man is in his reasoning. ⁶The fruit declareth if the tree have been dressed; so is the utterance of a conceit in the heart of man. ⁷Praise no man before thou hearest him speak; for this is the trial of men. ⁸If thou followest righteousness, thou shalt obtain her, and put her on, as a glorious long robe. ⁹The birds will resort unto their like; so will truth return unto them that practise in her. ¹⁰As the lion lieth in wait for the prey; so sin for them that work iniquity.
