Sirach 23:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
2 Who will set whips over my thoughts,
and the discipline of wisdom over my mind,
so as not to spare me in my errors,
and not overlook my[a] sins?
3 Otherwise my mistakes may be multiplied,
and my sins may abound,
and I may fall before my adversaries,
and my enemy may rejoice over me.[b]
4 O Lord, Father and God of my life,
do not give me haughty eyes,
