Sirach 37:10

Sirach 37:11
Thy way is good; and then stand on the other side to see what shall befall thee.

Sirach 37:13
Nor with the ungodly of piety, nor with the dishonest of honesty, nor with the field laborer of every work,

Sirach 37:14
Nor with him that worketh by the year of the finishing of the year, nor with an idle servant of much business: give no heed to these in any matter of counsel.
