Sirach 7:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶Do not seek to become a judge,
    or you may be unable to root out injustice;
you may be partial to the powerful,
    and so mar your integrity.
⁷Commit no offence against the public,
    and do not disgrace yourself among the people.

⁸Do not commit a sin twice;
not even for one will you go unpunished.
