Ben Sira 7:13

13 Don't tell lies at all. It never does any good.

Ben Sira 7:13 In-Context

11 Don't laugh at someone who has been humiliated. It is the Lord who humbles a person, but the Lord also raises him up again.

12 Don't think up lies to tell about your friends.

13 Don't tell lies at all. It never does any good.

14 In an official assembly, don't get up and talk a lot of nonsense. And don't repeat yourself when you pray.

15 Don't try to avoid farm work or other hard labor; the Most High has given us these jobs to do.
