Wisdom of Ben Sira 23:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Do not use your mouth for coarse and foul language,
since that involves sinful speech.
14 Remember your father and mother
when you are sitting among the mighty,
or you may forget yourself in their presence
and by such habits make a fool of yourself.
Then you will wish you had never been born
and curse the day of your birth.
15 A man who gets into the habit of using shameful language
will never be reformed as long as he lives.
