Sirach 21:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
13 The knowledge of the wise will increase like a flood,
and their counsel like a life-giving spring.
14 The mind[a] of a fool is like a broken jar;
it can hold no knowledge.
15 When an intelligent person hears a wise saying,
he praises it and adds to it;
when a fool[b] hears it, he laughs at[c] it
and throws it behind his back.
