Chapter 8
| Sira | DRC | 8:3 | For gold and silver hath destroyed many, and hath reached even to the heart of kings, and perverted them. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:6 | Despise not a man that turneth away from sin, nor reproach him therewith: remember that we are all worthy of reproof. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:8 | Rejoice not at the death of thy enemy; knowing that we all die, and are not willing that others should rejoice at our death. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:9 | Despise not the discourse of them that are ancient and wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:10 | For of them thou shalt learn wisdom, and instruction of understanding, and to serve great men without blame. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:11 | Let not the discourse of the ancients escape thee, for they have learned of their fathers: | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:13 | Kindle not the coals of sinners by rebuking them, lest thou be burnt with the flame of the fire of their sins. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:14 | Stand not against the face of an injurious person, lest he sit as a spy to entrap thee in thy words. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:15 | Lend not to a man that is mightier than thyself: and if thou lendest, count it as lost. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:16 | Be not surety above thy power: and if thou be surety, think as if thou wert to pay it. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:18 | Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils: for he goeth according to his own will, and thou shalt perish together with his folly. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:19 | Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee. | |
| Sira | DRC | 8:21 | Before a stranger do no matter of counsel: for thou knowest not what he will bring forth. | |
