Sirach 11:9

9 Don't argue about something that doesn't matter to you, and don't deliberate in a court case between sinners.

Sirach 11:9 In-Context

7 Don't find fault before you investigate; consider first, and then reprimand.
8 Don't answer before you listen, and don't interrupt someone who is speaking.
9 Don't argue about something that doesn't matter to you, and don't deliberate in a court case between sinners.
10 My child, don't be busy with many things; if you multiply pursuits, you won't be held guiltless. If you pursue them, you won't overtake them, and when you flee, you won't escape.
11 Some people work hard, struggle, and hurry— and end up even more deeply in need.
