Ecclesiasticus 8:3-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

3. For gold and silver hath destroyed many, and hath reached even to the heart of kings, and perverted them.

4. Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.

5. Communicate not with an ignorant man, lest he speak ill of thy family.

6. Despise not a man that turneth away from sin, nor reproach him therewith: remember that we are all worthy of reproof.

7. Despise not a man in his old age; for we also shall become old.

8. Rejoice not at the death of thy enemy; knowing that we all die, and are not willing that others should rejoice at our death.
