Sirach 32:9-11
Good News Translation

9 Don't treat important people as if you were their equal and don't make a nuisance of yourself by asking them a lot of questions.[a] 10 The reputation of a modest person goes before him, as lightning before thunder.

11 Leave the party at the right time and never be the last to go. Don't linger at the door; just go straight home.
