Sirach 9:15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵ Let your conversation be with men of understanding,
    and let all your discussion be about the law of the Most High.
¹⁶ Let righteous men be your dinner companions,
    and let your glorying be in the fear of the Lord.

¹⁷ A work will be praised for the skill of the craftsmen;
    so a people’s leader is proved wise by his words.
