Sirach 34:10-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. He who has no experience knows little. And he who has done many things has made many mistakes.

11. He who has not been tested, what kind of things can he know? He who has been deceived will be more cunning.

12. I have seen much by wandering, and the customs of many things.

13. At times, I have even been in danger of death because of these things, but I was freed by the grace of God.
