Sirach 11:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Deliberation and Caution
7 Do not find fault before you investigate;
examine first and then criticize.(A)
8 Do not answer before you listen,
and do not interrupt when another is speaking.(B)
9 Do not argue about a matter that does not concern you,
and do not sit with sinners when they judge a case.
