Sirach 20:22-24
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
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.
Lying
24 A lie is an ugly blot on a person;
it is continually on the lips of the ignorant.
