Sirach 28:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ He that hearkeneth to it, shall never have rest, neither shall he have a friend in whom he may repose.

²¹ The stroke of a whip maketh a blue mark: but the stroke of the tongue will break the bones.

²² Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not so many as have perished by their own tongue.
