Sirach 1:28-30

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁸ Do not disobey the fear of the Lord;
    do not approach him with a divided mind.
²⁹ Be not a hypocrite in men’s sight,^[a]
    and keep watch over your lips.
³⁰ Do not exalt yourself lest you fall,
    and thus bring dishonor upon yourself.
The Lord will reveal your secrets
    and cast you down in the midst of the congregation,
because you did not come in the fear of the Lord,
    and your heart was full of deceit.
