Sirach 13:8

8 Take care that you don't go astray, and don't be humiliated by your own foolishness.

Sirach 13:8 In-Context

6 If they need you, they will deceive you and smile at you and give you hope; they will speak nicely to you and say, "What do you need?"
7 They will embarrass you with their fine foods, until they have cleaned you out two or three times over. In the end they will mock you, and after these things, they will see you and abandon you and shake their heads at you.
8 Take care that you don't go astray, and don't be humiliated by your own foolishness.
9 When powerful people invite you, show yourself reluctant, and they will invite you all the more.
10 Don't be forward, or you might be rejected; and don't stand far off, or you might be forgotten.
