Sirach 7:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵Do not assert your righteousness before the Lord
    or display your wisdom before the king.^(A)
⁶Do not seek to become a judge,
    or you may be unable to root out injustice;
perhaps you will fear the powerful
    and so mar your integrity.^(B)
⁷Commit no offense against the public,
    and do not disgrace yourself among the people.
