Sirach 23:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Take from me the greediness of the belly, and let not the lusts of the flesh take hold of me, and give me not over to a shameless and foolish mind.

⁷ Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth: and he that will keep it shall not perish by his lips, nor be brought to fall into most wicked works.

⁸ A sinner is caught in his own vanity, and the proud and the evil speakers shall fall thereby.
