Wisdom of Ben Sira 7:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Commit no offense against the people of the city,
    thereby disgracing yourself before everyone.
⁸ Never fall into the trap of repeating a sin,
    for not even for one will you go unpunished.
⁹ Do not say, “He will take into consideration the great number of my gifts,
    and when I make an offering to God Most High he will accept it.”
