Ben Sira 41:17-22 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

17. Before father and mother be ashamed of immorality,before prince and ruler, of falsehood;

18. Before master and mistress, of deceit;before the public assembly, of crime;Before associate and friend, of disloyalty,

19. and in the place where you settle, of theft.Be ashamed of breaking an oath or a covenant,and of stretching your elbow at dinner;Of refusing to give when asked,

21. of rebuffing your own relatives;Of defrauding another of his appointed share,

20a. of failing to return a greeting;

21c. Of gazing at a man’s wife,

20b. of entertaining thoughts about another woman;

22. Of trifling with a servant girl you have,of violating her bed;Of using harsh words with friends,of following up your gifts with insults;
