Sirach 36:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ As the palate tastes different
types of game,
    so an intelligent mind tests^[a] false words.
²⁵ A perverse heart will cause grief,
    but an experienced person
    will know how to give payback.
²⁶ A woman will accept any male
as a husband,^[b]
    but some daughters are preferable
    to other ones.
