Wisdom of Solomon 1:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 because a jealous ear hears all things,
and the sound of grumbling does not go unheard.(A)
11 Beware, then, of useless grumbling,
and keep your tongue from slander,
because no secret word is without result,[a]
and a lying mouth destroys the soul.(B)
12 Do not court death by the error of your life
or bring on destruction by the works of your hands,(C)
