Wisdom of Ben Sira 4:25-27
New Catholic Bible
25 Never attempt to speak what is contrary to the truth
but rather feel ashamed at your own ignorance.
26 Do not be ashamed to confess your sins,
and do not attempt to struggle against a river’s currents.[a]
27 Do not subject yourself to the foolish,
or show partiality to the powerful.

- Wisdom of Ben Sira 4:26 Do not attempt to struggle against a river’s currents: it is as futile to attempt to conceal our sins from God as it is for us to try to prevent a river from flowing.
