Sirach 20:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ There is that is hindered from sinning through want, and in his rest he shall be pricked.

²⁴ There is that will destroy his own soul through shamefacedness, and by occasion of an unwise person he will destroy it: and by respect of person he will destroy himself.

²⁵ There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.
