Sirach 21:24-26
Good News Translation
24 Eavesdropping at doors is bad manners, and anyone with a sense of decency would be ashamed to do it.
25 Presumptuous people talk about things that are none of their business,[a] but the wise will consider the consequences of what they say. 26 Fools say whatever comes to mind; wise people think before they speak.
