Wisdom of Ben Sira 7:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Do not seek to become a judge,
    for you may not be strong enough to root out injustice,
or you may show favoritism to the powerful
    and thereby compromise your integrity.
⁷ Commit no offense against the people of the city,
    thereby disgracing yourself before everyone.
⁸ Never fall into the trap of repeating a sin,
    for not even for one will you go unpunished.
