Sirach 11:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Many tyrants have sat on the throne, and he whom no man would think on, hath worn the crown.

⁶ Many mighty men have been greatly brought down, and the glorious have been delivered into the hand of others.

⁷ Before thou inquire, blame no man: and when thou hast inquired, reprove justly.
