Sirach 19:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Admonish thy friend: for there is often a fault committed.

¹⁶ And believe not every word. There is one, that slippeth with the tongue, but not from his heart.

¹⁷ For who is there that hath not offended with his tongue? Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him.
