Ben Sira 21:25

25 The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty.

Ben Sira 21:25 In-Context

23 A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself.
24 Learning to the prudent is as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.
25 The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty.
26 A fool will peep through the window into the house: but he that is well taught will stand without.
27 It is the folly of a man to hearken at the door: and a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
