Ben Sira 7:14

14 In an official assembly, don't get up and talk a lot of nonsense. And don't repeat yourself when you pray.

Ben Sira 7:14 In-Context

12 Don't think up lies to tell about your friends.

13 Don't tell lies at all. It never does any good.

14 In an official assembly, don't get up and talk a lot of nonsense. And don't repeat yourself when you pray.

15 Don't try to avoid farm work or other hard labor; the Most High has given us these jobs to do.

16 Don't join up with a crowd of sinners; remember that the Lord's punishment is sure to come.
