Sirach 19:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ For he will hearken to thee, and will watch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always.

¹⁰ Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee.

¹¹ At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning. in the bringing forth a child.
