Sirach 20:21-23
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
21 One may be prevented from sinning by poverty;
so when he rests he feels no remorse.
22 One may lose his life through shame,
or lose it because of human respect.[a]
23 Another out of shame makes promises to a friend,
and so makes an enemy for nothing.
