Sirach 20:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁶ A liar’s way leads to disgrace,
    and his shame is ever with him.

²⁷ The wise person advances himself by his words,
    and one who is sensible pleases the great.
²⁸ Those who cultivate the soil heap up their harvest,
    and those who please the great atone for injustice.
