Ben Sira 7:6

6 Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity, lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, a stumbling block in the way of thy uprightness.

Ben Sira 7:6 In-Context

4 Seek not from the Lord preeminence, neither from the king the seat of honor.
5 Justify not thyself before the Lord, and boast not of thy wisdom before the king.
6 Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity, lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, a stumbling block in the way of thy uprightness.
7 Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people.
8 Bind not one sin upon another, for in one thou shalt not be unpunished.
