Sirach 36:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

24 As the palate tastes the kinds of game,
    so an intelligent mind detects false words.(A)
25 A perverse mind will cause grief,
    but a person with experience will pay him back.(B)
26 A woman will accept any man as a husband,
    but one daughter is preferable to another.
