Sirach 20:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had.

²⁰ The slipping of a false tongue is as one that falleth on the pavement: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.

²¹ A man without grace is as a vain fable, it shall be continually in the mouth of the unwise.
