Sirach 9:13 Common English Bible (CEB)

Keep far away from peoplewho have the authority to kill,and you won’t be worriedby the fear of death.If you do approach them,don’t make a mistake,or they might take away your life.Be aware that you are steppingamong trapsand that you are walkingon the parapet of the city’s walls.
