Wisdom of Ben Sira 4:26-28
New Catholic Bible
26 Do not be ashamed to confess your sins,
and do not attempt to struggle against a river’s currents.[a]
27 Do not subject yourself to the foolish,
or show partiality to the powerful.
28 Fight to the death for truth,
and the Lord God will ally himself on your side.

- Wisdom of Ben Sira 4:26 Do not attempt to struggle against a river’s currents: it is as futile to attempt to conceal our sins from God as it is for us to try to prevent a river from flowing.
