Sirach 19:28

28 If they are prevented from sinning, it's because they lack the strength. If they find an occasion, they will do evil.

Sirach 19:28 In-Context

26 And there are people who act wickedly, bowed down gloomily, and their insides are full of treachery.

27 They hide their faces, and they pretend they can't hear; when you aren't paying attention, they will outrun you.

28 If they are prevented from sinning, it's because they lack the strength. If they find an occasion, they will do evil.

29 People are known by their appearance, and sensible people are recognized in a face-to-face meeting.

30 A person's clothing, their vigorous laughter, and the way they walk will proclaim things about them.
