Sirach 8:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Judge not against a judge: for he judgeth according to that which is just.

¹⁸ Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils: for he goeth according to his own will, and thou shalt perish together with his folly.

¹⁹ Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee.
