Sirach 23:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

2 Who will set whips over my thoughts
    and the discipline of wisdom over my mind,
so as not to spare me in my errors
    and not overlook my[a] sins?(A)
3 Otherwise my mistakes may be multiplied,
    and my sins may abound,
and I may fall before my adversaries,
    and my enemy may rejoice over me.[b](B)
4 O Lord, Father and God of my life,
    do not give me haughty eyes,(C)
