Sirach 41:20

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

Sirach 41:20 In-Context

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,

22 of fooling around with his female servant— (and don't get near her bed), of reproachful words before friends (and don't criticize after you give),
