Wisdom of Ben Sira 32:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ However, the sinner pays no attention to reproof,
    and he will devise specious arguments to justify his desires.
¹⁸ A man who is sensible will never ignore reasonable counsel,
    whereas an arrogant and godless man will not be deterred by anything.
¹⁹ Never do anything without careful deliberation,
    but once you have acted, do not regret your decision.
