Sirach 8:14-16
Common English Bible
14 Don’t go to court with a judge;
people will judge him
according to his prestige.
15 Don’t walk on the road
with reckless people,
or you will bear
the weight of your mistakes.
They will walk wherever they want,
and you will be destroyed
because of their foolishness.
16 Don’t get in a fight
with hot-tempered people,
and don’t travel through the desert
with them,
because spilling blood is nothing to them,
and where there’s no one to help,
they will strike you down.
