Ben Sira 8:18

18 Do no secret thing before a stranger, for thou knowest not what he will bring forth.

Ben Sira 8:18 In-Context

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.
17 Consult not with a fool, for he cannot keep counsel.
18 Do no secret thing before a stranger, for thou knowest not what he will bring forth.
19 Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee with an evil turn.
