Ben Sira 20:21

21 There is one that is hindered from sinning through want, and when he taketh rest he shall not be troubled.

Ben Sira 20:21 In-Context

19 An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise.
20 A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool's mouth, for he will not speak it in due season.
21 There is one that is hindered from sinning through want, and when he taketh rest he shall not be troubled.
22 There is one that destroyeth his own soul through bashfulness, and by accepting of persons overthroweth himself.
23 There is one that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.
