Sirach 21:12-14
Common English Bible
12 Those who aren’t clever
won’t receive instruction,
but there is a kind of cleverness
that makes troubles multiply.
13 The knowledge of the wise
will increase like a flood,
and their counsel is like
a stream of life.
14 The mind[a] of a fool is like a broken jar:
it can’t hold knowledge.
