Wisdom 1:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ For inquisition shall be made into the thoughts of the ungodly: and the hearing of his words shall come to God, to the chastising of his iniquities.

¹⁰ For the ear of jealousy heareth all things, and the tumult of murmuring shall not be hid.

¹¹ Keep yourselves therefore from murmuring, which profiteth nothing, and refrain your tongue from detraction, for an obscure speech shall not go for nought: and the mouth that belieth, killeth the soul.
