Ben Sira 1:29

29 Be careful about what you say, and don't be a hypocrite.

Ben Sira 1:29 In-Context

27 Fearing the Lord is Wisdom and an education in itself. He is pleased by loyalty and humility.

28 Be faithful in the practice of your religion; when you worship the Lord, do it with all your heart.

29 Be careful about what you say, and don't be a hypocrite.

30 Don't be arrogant; you may suffer a fall and be disgraced. The Lord will reveal your secrets and humble you in front of everyone in the synagogue, because you did not come there with reverence for the Lord, but with a heart full of hypocrisy.
