Sirach 26:4-6
Common English Bible
4 Whether in poverty or in wealth,
his heart is happy;
at every moment he has a cheerful face.
5 My heart was cautious about three things,
and I was fearful
in the face of a fourth—
slander in a city,
the gathering of a mob,
and a false accusation—
all of these are more miserable
than death.
6 Women who are rivals
bring heartache and grief,
and a tongue-lashing shares it
with everyone.
