Sirach 8:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁰ Do not kindle the coals of sinners,
    or you may be burned in their flaming fire.
¹¹ Do not let the insolent bring you to your feet,
    or they may lie in ambush against your words.
¹² Do not lend to one who is stronger than you;
    but if you do lend anything, count it as a loss.
