Ben Sira 8:14

14 Go not to law against a judge, for they will judge for him according to his honor.

Ben Sira 8:14 In-Context

12 Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest to him, count it but lost.

13 Be not surety beyond thy power; for if thou be surety, take care to pay it.

14 Go not to law against a judge, for they will judge for him according to his honor.

15 Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee; for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly.

16 Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place; for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee.
