Sirach 1:28-30
Common English Bible
28 Don’t disobey the fear of the Lord,
and don’t approach him[a]
with a divided heart.
29 Don’t give people reason
to call you a hypocrite,
and pay attention to what you say.
30 Don’t exalt yourself,
or else you might fall
and bring dishonor to yourself.
The Lord will reveal your secrets,
and he will overthrow you
in the middle of the congregation,
because you didn’t come
with proper regard for the Lord
and your heart was full of insincerity.
