Sirach 8:16-18
Common English Bible
16 Don’t get in a fight
with hot-tempered people,
and don’t travel through the desert
with them,
because spilling blood is nothing to them,
and where there’s no one to help,
they will strike you down.
17 Don’t consult with fools,
because they can’t keep a secret.
18 Don’t do anything in front of strangers
that should be kept hidden,
for you don’t know what they will reveal.
