Sirach 23:6-8
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
6 Let neither gluttony nor lust overcome me,
and do not give me over to shameless passion.
Discipline of the Tongue[a]
7 Listen, my children, to instruction concerning the mouth;
one who observes it will never be caught.
8 Sinners are overtaken through their lips;
by them the reviler and the arrogant are tripped up.
