Sirach 32:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ When you are among the more influential, don’t presume authority;
    and where elders are present,
    don’t talk idly about many things.
¹⁰ Lightning comes before thunder,
    and good favor walks
    in front of a modest person.
¹¹ Rise up to leave in time,
and don’t be the last person out;
    go back to your own home,
    and don’t miss your work
    the next day.
