Ben Sira 4:22

22 Do not let others have their way at your expense; do not bring on your own ruin by giving up your rights.

Ben Sira 4:22 In-Context

20 Take advantage of opportunities, but guard yourself against evil. Don't underrate yourself.

21 Humility deserves honor and respect, but a low opinion of yourself leads to sin.

22 Do not let others have their way at your expense; do not bring on your own ruin by giving up your rights.

23 Never hesitate to speak out when the occasion calls for it. Don't hide your wisdom.

24 Your wisdom and education can be known only by what you say.
