Sirach 8:2 CPDV

¹  You should not quarrel with a powerful man, lest perhaps you may fall into his hands.

²  You should not contend with a wealthy man, lest perhaps he may bring an action against you.

³  For gold and silver have destroyed many, and have reached and corrupted even the hearts of kings.

⁴  You should not quarrel with a man who is full of words, for you should not cast wood upon his fire.
