Ben Sira 23:1

1 O Lord, Father and Master of my life, do not abandon me to their designs, and do not let me fall because of them!

Ben Sira 23:1 In-Context

1 O Lord, Father and Master of my life, do not abandon me to their designs, and do not let me fall because of them!

2 Who will set whips over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over my mind, so as not to spare me in my errors, and not overlook my sins?

3 Otherwise my mistakes may be multiplied, and my sins may abound, and I may fall before my adversaries, and my enemy may rejoice over me.

4 O Lord, Father and God of my life, do not give me haughty eyes

5 and remove evil desire from me.
