Sirach 7:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Don’t sin against a city’s inhabitants,
and don’t bring yourself down
in their estimation.[a]
8 Don’t repeat a sin,
for you won’t be innocent
even of committing it the first time.
9 Don’t say,
“He will look at the heap of my gifts,
and when I make an offering
to the Most High, he will accept it.”
