Wisdom of Ben Sira 7:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 My child, do not sow in the furrows of injustice
so that you will not reap a sevenfold crop.
4 Do not ask the Lord for a position of authority
or the king for a seat of honor.
5 Do not flaunt your righteousness before the Lord,
or assert your wisdom in the presence of the king.
