Sirach 32:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

16 Those who fear the Lord will form true judgments,
    and they will kindle righteous deeds like a light.(A)
17 Sinners will shun reproof
    and will find a decision according to their liking.(B)

18 A sensible person will not overlook a thoughtful suggestion;
    an insolent[a] and proud person will not be deterred by fear.[b](C)
