Sirach 8:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Do not go to law against a judge,
    for the decision will favor him because of his standing.
¹⁵ Do not go traveling with the reckless,
    or they will be burdensome to you;
for they will act as they please,
    and through their folly you will perish with them.
¹⁶ Do not pick a fight with the quick-tempered,
    and do not journey with them through lonely country,
because bloodshed means nothing to them,
    and where no help is at hand, they will strike you down.
