Sirach 41:19-21

Common English Bible

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,
²¹     of turning away a relative,
    of depriving someone of a share
    or a gift,
    of staring at another man’s wife,
