Sirach 6:1-3

Common English Bible

6 Don’t become an enemy
instead of a friend.
    If you get a bad name, you will also inherit shame and reproach,
        as is the case with the
        deceitful^[a] sinner.

² Don’t be enamored
of your own intelligence
    lest your strength be taken captive
    like a bull.
³ You will devour your leaves,
destroy your fruit,
    and leave yourself like a withered tree.
