Sirach 20:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.

²⁶ A lie is a foul blot in a man, and yet it will be continually in the mouth of men without discipline.

²⁷ A thief is better than a man that is always lying: but both of them shall inherit destruction.
