Sirach 22:14-16
Common English Bible
14 What’s heavier than lead?
And what name does it have but “Fool”?
15 Sand, salt, and a lump of iron
are easier to bear
than an unintelligent person.
16 A wooden beam fastened into a building
won’t be loosened by an earthquake.
So a heart firmly set
on thoughtful counsel
won’t be afraid at any time.
