Sirach 4:27

27 Don't lower yourself before a fool, and don't show partiality toward the powerful.

Sirach 4:27 In-Context

25 Don't contradict the truth, but don't be ashamed when you don't know the answer.

26 Don't be ashamed to confess your sins, and don't force the flow of a river.

27 Don't lower yourself before a fool, and don't show partiality toward the powerful.

28 Fight to the death on behalf of truth, and the Lord God will fight for you.

29 Don't be bold to speak, but sluggish and slack when it comes to action.
