Sirach 28:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²³ Those who forsake the Lord will fall into its power;
    it will burn among them and will not be put out.
It will be sent out against them like a lion;
    like a leopard it will mangle them.
^24a As you fence in your property with thorns,
^25b     so make a door and a bolt for your mouth.
^24b As you lock up your silver and gold,
^25a     so make balances and scales for your words.
