Sirach 19:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Have you heard something? Let it die with you.
    Be brave, it will not make you burst!
¹¹ Having heard something, the fool suffers birth-pangs
    like a woman in labour with a child.
¹² Like an arrow stuck in a person’s thigh,
    so is gossip inside a fool.
