Wisdom of Ben Sira 4:21-23
New Catholic Bible
21 There is a shame that leads to sin,
and a shame that is honorable and gracious.
22 Do not be the cause of your own downfall by showing favoritism,
or incur ruin by your deference to others.
23 Do not refrain from speaking at an opportune time,[a]
and do not conceal your wisdom.
