Sirach 41:22-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. of a crime before a ruler or a judge, of iniquity before a congregation or a people,

23. of injustice before a companion or a friend, and of the place in which you live,

24. of theft, and of the truth before God, and of the covenant, of reclining to eat bread, and of deceitfulness in giving or receiving,

25. of silence before those who greet you, of looking upon a woman of fornication, and of averting your face from a relative.

26. You should not avert your face from your neighbor, nor should you take away a portion and not restore it.
