Sirach 4:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ If they go astray,
she will leave them behind
    and hand them over to their downfall.

²⁰ Watch closely for the right opportunity,
    be on guard against evil,
    and don’t be ashamed of yourself.
²¹ There’s a kind of shame
that brings about sin,
    and there’s a kind of shame
that brings good reputation and favor.
