Sirach 20:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² There is a man, that shall lose (or shall destroy) his (own) soul for shame; and for the unprudence of a person he shall lose it. Forsooth he shall lose (or shall destroy) himself for the taking (or the favouring) of a person. [And there is, that shall lose his soul for confusion; and of unprudence of person he shall lose it. Forsooth by exception, (or acceptance, or favouring) of person he shall lose himself.]

²³ There is a man, that for shame promiseth to a friend; and he hath gotten him(self) (an) enemy without cause. [There is, that for confusion promiseth to a friend; and hath won him an enemy willfully.]

²⁴ Leasing (or Lying) is a wicked shame in a man; and it shall be customably in the mouth of unlearned men. [Wicked reproof in a man (is) a leasing; and in the mouth of the undisciplined it shall be busily.]
