Ben Sira 4:21

21 For there is a shame which brings sin, and there is a shame which is glory and favor.

Ben Sira 4:21 In-Context

19 If he goes astray she will forsake him, and hand him over to his ruin.

20 Observe the right time, and beware of evil; and do not bring shame on yourself.

21 For there is a shame which brings sin, and there is a shame which is glory and favor.

22 Do not show partiality, to your own harm, or deference, to your downfall.

23 Do not refrain from speaking at the crucial time, and do not hide your wisdom.
