Ben Sira 7:12

12 Devise not a lie against thy brother, neither do the like to thy friend.

Ben Sira 7:12 In-Context

10 Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms.
11 Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul, for there is One who humbleth and exalteth.
12 Devise not a lie against thy brother, neither do the like to thy friend.
13 Use not ever any manner of lie, for the custom thereof is not good.
14 Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest.
