Sirach 22:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin.

¹⁶ Turn away from him, and thou shalt find rest, and shalt not be wearied out with his folly.

¹⁷ What is heavier than lead? and what other name hath he but fool?
