Sirach 7:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Don’t be timid in your prayer,
    and don’t neglect caring for those in need.
¹¹ Don’t mock a person
who is bitter in spirit;
    for there’s one who humbles
    and who exalts.
¹² Don’t cultivate a lie against your relative
    or do the same thing to a friend.
