Sirach 41:18-20
Common English Bible
18 of error before a judge and an official,
of lawlessness before the assembly
and the people,
of injustice before a partner and friend,
19 of theft in the neighborhood
where you are staying.
Be ashamed:
before the Lord’s truth and covenant,[a]
of leaning on your elbow at meals,
of showing contempt
when receiving or giving,
20 of silence when people greet you,
of looking at a female escort,
