Sirach 7:14-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. Do not be willing to devise a lie of any kind. For the practice of lying is not good.

15. Do not choose to be verbose among a multitude of elders, and you should not repeat the words of your prayers.

16. You should not hate laborious works, nor the rustic life created by the Most High.

17. You should not consider yourself to be among the multitude of the undisciplined.
