Wisdom of Ben Sira 7:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 Do not deride anyone whose heart has become embittered,
for there is One who both humbles and exalts.[a]
12 Do not make up lies about your brother,
or do the same to a friend.
13 Refuse to ever tell a lie,
for it is a habit that never has a positive result.
