Sirach 33:18-20
Revised Standard Version
18 Hear me, you who are great among the people,
and you leaders of the congregation, hearken.
The Advantage of Independence
19 To son or wife, to brother or friend,
do not give power over yourself, as long as you live;
and do not give your property to another,
lest you change your mind and must ask for it.
20 While you are still alive and have breath in you,
do not let any one take your place.
