Sirach 33:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁹ Listen to me, you who are great
among the people;
    pay attention,
    you leaders in the congregation.
²⁰ Don’t give son or wife, sibling or friend,
authority over you in your lifetime,
    and don’t give your property
    to someone else,
        since you might change your mind
        and ask for it back.
