Sirach 1:23-25
Common English Bible
23 Patient people will hold themselves back
until the right moment,
and afterward they will be paid back
with joy.
24 They will hide their words
until the right moment,
and many will talk about
their good judgment.
25 There are intelligent proverbs
in Wisdom’s treasuries,
but sinners avoid godliness
like the plague.
