Sirach 7:18-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. Remember wrath. For it will not be delayed.

19. Humble your spirit greatly. For the retribution against the flesh of the impious is with fire and worms.

20. Do not betray your friend for the sake of money, and you should not spurn your dearest brother for the sake of gold.

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.

22. You should not harm the servant whose works are honest, nor the hired hand who entrusts his life to you.
