Ben Sira 19:4

4 One who trusts others too quickly has a shallow mind, and one who sins does wrong to himself.

Ben Sira 19:4 In-Context

2 Wine and women lead intelligent men astray, and the man who consorts with prostitutes is reckless.

3 Decay and worms will take possession of him, and the reckless person will be snatched away.

4 One who trusts others too quickly has a shallow mind, and one who sins does wrong to himself.

5 One who rejoices in wickedness will be condemned,

6 but one who hates gossip has less evil.
