Ben Sira 28:22

22 Devout people, however, cannot be overcome by slander; they cannot be burned by its flames.

Ben Sira 28:22 In-Context

21 Slander leads to a miserable death; but in fact, you'd be better off dead.

22 Devout people, however, cannot be overcome by slander; they cannot be burned by its flames.

23 Its victims are those who have abandoned the Lord; once the fire of slander has been lit among them, it cannot be put out. Slander will pounce on them like a lion and tear them to pieces like a leopard.

24 Don't you fence in your property? Don't you lock up your money?
