Sirach 32:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ As in the making [or (the) forging] of gold is a signet of smaragdus (or of emerald), so the number of musics is in merry and measurable [or temperate] wine.

⁷ Hear thou (while being) still, and good grace shall come to thee for reverence. Young man, speak thou scarcely in (or for) thy cause, (only) when need is. If thou art asked twice, the head have thine answer. [Hear thou (while) being still, and for reverence shall fall to thee good grace. Thou a young full waxen man, speak in thine own cause scarcely, (only) when need shall be. If twice thou were asked, have the head thine answer.]

⁸ In many things be thou as uncunning (or as unknowing), and hear thou (while being) still (al)together, and asking. [In many things be thou as uncunning, and hear thou being still (al)together and seeking.]
