Sirach 1:29-30

Common English Bible

²⁹ Don’t give people reason
to call you a hypocrite,
    and pay attention to what you say.
³⁰ Don’t exalt yourself,
or else you might fall
    and bring dishonor to yourself.
The Lord will reveal your secrets,
    and he will overthrow you
    in the middle of the congregation,
    because you didn’t come
    with proper regard for the Lord
        and your heart was full of insincerity.
