Ben Sira 4:27

27 Do not subject yourself to a fool, or show partiality to a ruler.

Ben Sira 4:27 In-Context

25 Never speak against the truth, but be ashamed of your ignorance.
26 Do not be ashamed to confess your sins, and do not try to stop the current of a river.
27 Do not subject yourself to a fool, or show partiality to a ruler.
28 Fight to the death for truth, and the Lord God will fight for you.
29 Do not be reckless in your speech, or sluggish and remiss in your deeds.
