Ben Sira 5:1 In-Context

1 Do not rely on your wealth, or say, "I have enough."

2 Do not follow your inclination and strength in pursuing the desires of your heart.

3 Do not say, "Who can have power over me?" for the Lord will surely punish you.

4 Do not say, "I sinned, yet what has happened to me?" for the Lord is slow to anger.

5 Do not be so confident of forgiveness that you add sin to sin.
