Sirach 7:8-14

{7:8} And you should not bind two sins together. For even in one sin, you will not go unpunished.
{7:9} Do not be cowardly in your soul.
{7:10} You should not be unwilling to beg, nor to give alms.
{7:11} You should not say: “God will look with favor on the multitude of my gifts, and when I make an offering to the most high God, he will accept my gift.”
{7:12} You should not ridicule a man in bitterness of soul. For there is One who humbles and who exalts: the all-seeing God.
{7:13} Do not love a lie against your brother, nor should you act the same toward your friend.
{7:14} Do not be willing to devise a lie of any kind. For the practice of lying is not good.
