Sirach 28:16-18
Wycliffe Bible
16 He that beholdeth the third tongue [or Who beholdeth it], shall not have rest; neither shall have a friend, in whom he shall rest.
17 The wound of beating maketh wanness; but the wound of (the) tongue shall make less the bones. [The wound of a scourge maketh wanness; the wound forsooth of a tongue shall bruise or shall break bones.]
18 Many men fell down by the sharpness of (the) sword; but not so (many) (or not as many) as they that perished [or died] by their tongue.
