Quite struck by tonight’s reading from Ecclesiasticus/ Sirach ch 5
20Watch for the opportune time, and beware of evil,
and do not be ashamed to be yourself.
21For there is a shame that leads to sin,
and there is a shame that is glory and favour.
20Watch for the opportune time, and beware of evil,
and do not be ashamed to be yourself.
21For there is a shame that leads to sin,
and there is a shame that is glory and favour.

The Catholic Bible includes 7 books that most Protestant Bibles don't. All in the Old Testament. Those books, as a group, are called the deuterocanonical books or the Apocrypha. They're Baruch, Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom (or Wisdom of Solomon), and Sirach (or Ecclesiasticus).
