Sirach 33:23

23 Excel in everything you do; don't bring a stain on your reputation.

Sirach 33:23 In-Context

21 While you still live and have breath in you, don't exchange places with anyone else.
22 It's better for your children to make requests of you than that you should look to them for generosity.
23 Excel in everything you do; don't bring a stain on your reputation.
24 On the last day of your life, at the moment of death, distribute your inheritance.
25 Fodder, a rod, and burdens for donkeys; bread, discipline, and work for household slaves.
