Sirach 8:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ Make thou not chiding [or jangling] with a wrathful man, and go thou not into (a) desert with an hardy man; for why blood, that is, shedding out of innocent blood, is as nought before him, and where none help is, [or and where is not help], (or where there is no help), he shall hurtle thee down.

¹⁷ Have thou not counsel with fools; for they may not love (or be not able to love), no but those things that please them.

¹⁸ Make thou not a counsel before a stranger; for thou knowest not, what he shall bring forth.
