Sirach 8:9-11 World English Bible (WEB)

9. Miss not the discourse of the aged; For they also learned of their fathers: Because from them you shall learn understanding, And to give answer in time of need.

10. Kindle not the coals of a sinner, Lest you be burned with the flame of his fire.

11. Rise not up from the presence of an insolent man, Lest he lie in wait as an ambush for your mouth.
