Sirach 8:1-3
Common English Bible
Circumstances to avoid
8 Don’t fight with powerful people,
or you might fall into their hands.
2 Don’t argue with rich people,
since they might outmatch
your resources;
for gold has destroyed many,
and it has turned aside
the hearts of kings.
3 Don’t fight with talkative people,
adding fuel to their fire.
