Wisdom 1:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 Therefore, beware of futile grumbling
and restrain your tongue from calumny,[a]
for even something said in secret has repercussions,
and a lying mouth destroys the soul.
12 Do not invite death by a life prone to error,
nor incur destruction by the works of your hands.
13 For God did not make death,
nor does he delight in the death of the living.
