Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 18:27

ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς ἐν παντὶ εὐλαβηθήσεται καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις ἁμαρτιῶν προσέξει ἀπὸ πλημμελείας.
King James Version (KJV)

A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the day of sinning he will beware of offence: but a fool will not observe time.

Modern English

A wise man is cautious in everything, and on a day when sin is possible, he stays alert against wrongdoing; but a fool pays no attention to timing.
