Sirach 28:23-25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.
²⁴ See that you fence in your property with thorns,
    lock up your silver and gold,
²⁵ make balances and scales for your words,
    and make a door and a bolt for your mouth.
