Ecclesiasticus 32:17-24 — Sirach 32:17-24

The sinner turns aside reproof and distorts the law to suit his purpose. The thoughtful man will not neglect direction; the proud and insolent man is deterred by nothing. Do nothing without counsel, and then you need have no regrets. Go not on a way that is set with snares, and let not the same thing trip you twice. Be not too sure even of smooth roads, be careful on all your paths. Whatever you do, be on your guard, for in this way you will keep the commandments. He who keeps the Law preserves himself; and he who trusts in the LORD shall not be put to shame. Amen.
