Sirach 7:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Do not assert your righteousness before the Lord,
    nor display your wisdom before the king.
⁶ Do not seek to become a judge,
    lest you be unable to remove iniquity,
lest you be partial to a powerful man,
    and thus put a blot on your integrity.
⁷ Do not offend against the public,
    and do not disgrace yourself among the people.
