Sirach 21:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
19 To a senseless person education is fetters on his feet,
and like manacles on his right hand.
20 A fool raises his voice when he laughs,
but the wise[a] smile quietly.
21 To the sensible person education is like a golden ornament,
and like a bracelet on the right arm.
