Ben Sira 8:3 In-Context

1 Do not contend with the powerful, or you may fall into their hands.

2 Do not quarrel with the rich, in case their resources outweigh yours; for gold has ruined many, and has perverted the minds of kings.

3 Do not argue with the loud of mouth, and do not heap wood on their fire.

4 Do not make fun of one who is ill-bred, or your ancestors may be insulted.

5 Do not reproach one who is turning away from sin; remember that we all deserve punishment.
