Sirach 27:12-14

Wycliffe Bible

¹² In the midst of unwise men keep thou a word to (the) time; but be thou busy in the midst of them that think (upon) the law of God.

¹³ The telling of sinners is hateful; and the laughing of them is in the trespasses of sin.

¹⁴ Speech swearing much shall make (for) standing up of hairs, for astoning (or astonishing), to the head; and unreverence thereof is stopping of (the) ears. [The much swearing speech shall set standing of hair, for far, to the head; and irreverence of it in stopping of ears.]
