Sirach 20:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

²⁸ The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.
