Ben Sira 18:27

27 If you are wise, you will be careful in everything you do. When sin is all around you, be especially careful that you do not become guilty.

Ben Sira 18:27 In-Context

25 When you have all you want, think what it is like to be hungry, what it is to be poor.

26 Things can change in a single day; the Lord can act very quickly.

27 If you are wise, you will be careful in everything you do. When sin is all around you, be especially careful that you do not become guilty.

28 Every intelligent person can recognize wisdom and will honor anyone who shows it.

29 If you appreciate wisdom when you hear it, you will become wise yourself, and your words will be a source of wisdom for others.
