Sirach 4:29 In-Context

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.

30 Don't be like a lion in your house, putting on airs among your household slaves.

31 Don't stretch your hand out to receive and withdraw it when it is time to pay back.
