Sirach 7:6-8
Common English Bible
6 Don’t aspire to become a judge;
you might not be strong enough
to get rid of injustice.
Perhaps you will be too cautious
in the presence of a powerful person
and bring a scandal on your good name.
7 Don’t sin against a city’s inhabitants,
and don’t bring yourself down
in their estimation.[a]
8 Don’t repeat a sin,
for you won’t be innocent
even of committing it the first time.
