Wisdom of Ben Sira 28:23-25
New Catholic Bible
23 However, those who forsake the Lord will fall victim to it;
it will blaze among them and will never be extinguished.
It will be launched forth against them like a lion;
like a leopard it will tear them to pieces.
24 Just as you enclose your property with a hedge of thorns
and lock up your silver and gold,
25 set a bolted door over your mouth
and weigh and measure your every word.
