Sirach 4:20-22
Common English Bible
Shame and speech
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.
22 Don’t show partiality to your own hurt,
and don’t show respect
to your own downfall.
