Sirach 21:26-28

Wycliffe Bible

²⁶ The heart of fools is in their mouth; and the mouth of wise men is in their heart.

²⁷ When a wicked man curseth the devil, he curseth his own soul. [When the unpious curseth the devil, he curseth his own soul.]

²⁸ A privy backbiter shall defoul his soul, and in all things he shall be hated, and he that dwelleth, shall be hated; a still man and wise shall be honoured.
