Sirach 19:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ for some one has heard you and watched you,
    and when the time comes he will hate you.
¹⁰ Have you heard a word? Let it die with you.
    Be brave! It will not make you burst!
¹¹ With such a word a fool will suffer pangs
    like a woman in labor with a child.
