Ben Sira 4:20

20 Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; and be not ashamed when it concerneth thy soul.

Ben Sira 4:20 In-Context

18 Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort him and show him her secrets.
19 But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin.
20 Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; and be not ashamed when it concerneth thy soul.
21 For there is a shame that bringeth sin, and there is a shame which is glory and grace.
22 Accept no person against thy soul, and let not the reverence of any man cause thee to fall.
