Sirach 5:13-15
Common English Bible
13 Speaking brings glory or dishonor.
Indeed, the tongue
can be a person’s downfall.
14 Don’t get a reputation
for being a slanderer,
and don’t set traps for people
with your speech,
because shame comes to the thief,
and terrible blame
comes upon the deceitful.[a]
15 Don’t be ignorant in matters
large or small.
