Sirach 15:8-12
-
8 For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot remember her.
-
9 Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.
-
10 For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.
-
11 Say not thou, It is through the Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth.
-
12 Say not thou, He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of the sinful man.
