Sirach 27:5-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
5 The kiln tests the potter’s vessels;
so the test of a man is in his reasoning.
6 The fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree;
so the expression of a thought discloses the cultivation of a man’s mind.
7 Do not praise a man before you hear him reason,
for this is the test of men.
Reward and Retribution
8 If you pursue justice, you will attain it
and wear it as a glorious robe.
