Sirach 21:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart.

⁸ He that is mighty by a bold tongue is known afar off, but a wise man knoweth to slip by him.

⁹ He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter.
