Sirach 11:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ Before that thou ask, blame thou not any man; and when thou hast asked, blame thou justly. [Before that thou ask, not blame thou any man; and when thou shalt ask, chastise thou rightly.]

⁸ Before that thou hear, answer thou not a word; and in the midst of elder men add thou not to speak. [Before that thou hear, not answer thou a word; and in the middle of elder men not lay thou to speak.]

⁹ Strive thou not, of (or in) that thing that dis-easeth not thee; and stand thou not in the doom of sins. [Of that thing that grieveth not thee, strive thou not; and in the middle of sinners not abide thou.]
