Sirach 4:30-32 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. You should not contradict a word of truth in any way. Otherwise, by a falsehood born of ignorance, you will be confounded.

31. You should not be ashamed to confess your sins, but do not subject yourself to any man because of sin.

32. Do not choose to stand against the face of the powerful, for you should not strive against the current of the river.
