Sirach 9:11-13
Common English Bible
11 Don’t envy the good reputation
of sinners,
since you don’t know
how sudden their end will be.
12 Don’t delight in the success
of the ungodly.
Remember that they won’t
be considered righteous,
even in the grave.[a]
13 Keep far away from people
who have the authority to kill,
and you won’t be worried
by the fear of death.
If you do approach them,
don’t make a mistake,
or they might take away your life.
Be aware that you are stepping
among traps
and that you are walking
on the parapet of the city’s walls.
