Sirach 23:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ Lest God forget thee in their sight, and thou, by thy daily custom, be infatuated and suffer reproach: and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse the day of thy nativity.

²⁰ The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words, will never be corrected all the days of his life.

²¹ Two sorts of men multiply sins, and the third bringeth wrath and destruction.
