Sirach 42:1-3

Common English Bible

42 of repeating gossip;
    and of revealing secrets—
        then you will be truly modest
        and find favor with every human being.

Don’t be ashamed of these things,
    and don’t show favoritism
    so that you sin.
² Don’t be ashamed:
    of the Law of the Most High
    or the covenant,
    of a just verdict
    in favor of an ungodly person,
³     of keeping a record of expenses with a partner or a traveling companion,
    of distributing an inheritance
    to others,
