Wisdom of Ben Sira 11:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 Many rulers have fallen into complete disgrace,
and those who have received honors have fallen into the power of others.
Think before Acting, and Act Calmly
7 Do not find fault before checking out the evidence;
examine first, and then criticize.
8 Do not answer without first listening,
and do not interrupt while someone else is speaking.
