Sir 9:17
King James Version
“For the hand of the artificer the work shall be commended: and the wise ruler of the people for his speech.”
Context
14As near as thou canst, guess at thy neighbour, and consult with the wise.
15Let thy talk be with the wise, and all thy communication in the law of the most High.
16And let just men eat and drink with thee; and let thy glorying be in the fear of the Lord.
17For the hand of the artificer the work shall be commended: and the wise ruler of the people for his speech.
18A man of an ill tongue is dangerous in his city; and he that is rash in his talk shall be hated.
