I Should Have Read the Apocrypha

Ok, so there's this Bible in my office. It is there because we have a Women's Group every Thursday at work where we discuss scripture and other things. So this Bible is the one I bought for Religion 106-107 at Anderson College a few years ago, and it has all of the Apocryphal books in it as well as the regular Bible books...

So I pick up this Bible and open it randomly. Here's what I come up with:

Sirach 22:13

"Do not talk much with a senseless person or visit an unintelligent person. Stay clear of him, or you may have trouble, and be spattered when he shakes himself off. Avoid him and you will find rest, and you will never be wearied by his lack of sense."

Now if I had only read that before I married JF, I might have had the sense to run screaming in the opposite direction.
