Sirach 41:19

19 of theft in the neighborhood where you are staying. Be ashamed: before the Lord's truth and covenant, of leaning on your elbow at meals, of showing contempt when receiving or giving,

Sirach 41:19 In-Context

17 Be ashamed: of sexual immorality before your father and mother, of lying before a prince or leader,

18 of error before a judge and an official, of lawlessness before the assembly and the people, of injustice before a partner and friend,

19 of theft in the neighborhood where you are staying. Be ashamed: before the Lord's truth and covenant, of leaning on your elbow at meals, of showing contempt when receiving or giving,

20 of silence when people greet you, of looking at a female escort,

21 of turning away a relative, of depriving someone of a share or a gift, of staring at another man's wife,
