Ben Sira 19:15-22 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

15. Admonish your friend—often it may be slander;do not believe every story.

16. Then, too, a person can slip and not mean it;who has not sinned with his tongue?

17. Admonish your neighbor before you break with him;and give due place to the Law of the Most High.

20. All wisdom is fear of the Lord;and in all wisdom, the observance of the Law.

22. The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom,nor is there prudence in the counsel of sinners.
