Sirach 20:32 *Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is not seen: what profit is there in them both?

Ecclesiasticus 41:17.
Both? He who, through a false humility refuses to take charge of others, resembles a man who locks up his corn in time of scarcity. (St. Gregory, Part. 3:26.) (Matthew xxv.) (Calmet) --- Wisdom must be shewn for the benefit of others. (Worthington)
