Wisdom of Ben Sira 20:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ Poverty may prevent one from sinning;
    so when he takes his rest, his conscience does not disturb him.
²² One may lose his life through false shame
    or perish from fear of the opinion of a fool.
    [For the latter has a foolish look.]^[a]
23 Another, out of shame, makes promises to a friend
    and needlessly turns that friend into an enemy.
