Sirach 32:6-10

{32:6} Where no one is listening, you should not pour out words. And do not choose to be extolled improperly for your wisdom.
{32:7} A gemstone of garnet is set amid an ornament of gold, and a concert of music is set amid a banquet of wine.
{32:8} Just as a signet of emerald is set amid a work of gold, so is a melody of music set amid delightful and moderate wine.
{32:9} Listen silently, and for your reverence, good graces will be added to you.
{32:10} Young man, speak in your own case only reluctantly.
