Wisdom of Ben Sira 1:28-30
New Catholic Bible
28 Do not disregard the fear of the Lord,
or approach him with a divided heart.
29 Do not act out a role before others;
keep careful watch over your lips.
30 Do not exalt yourself, lest you fall
and bring dishonor upon yourself.
For then the Lord will reveal your secrets
and overthrow you before the whole community,
since you did not practice the fear of the Lord
and your heart was full of deceit.
