Sirach 7:15-21

{7:15} Do not choose to be verbose among a multitude of elders, and you should not repeat the words of your prayers.
{7:16} You should not hate laborious works, nor the rustic life created by the Most High.
{7:17} You should not consider yourself to be among the multitude of the undisciplined.
{7:18} Remember wrath. For it will not be delayed.
{7:19} Humble your spirit greatly. For the retribution against the flesh of the impious is with fire and worms.
{7:20} Do not betray your friend for the sake of money, and you should not spurn your dearest brother for the sake of gold.
{7:21} Do not choose to depart from a good and understanding wife, whom you have been allotted in the fear of the Lord. For the grace of her modesty is above gold.
