Sirach 20:27-29
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Proverbial Sayings[a]
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.
29 Favours and gifts blind the eyes of the wise;
like a muzzle on the mouth they stop reproofs.
