Sirach 5:15-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. Honor and glory are in the words of those who understand, yet truly, the tongue of the imprudent man is his undoing.

16. You should not be called a whisperer, and you should not be caught by your own tongue, and then confounded.

17. For confusion and remorse is upon a thief, and a wicked mark is upon the double-tongued; but for the whisperer, there is hatred and animosity and disgrace.

18. Justify the small and the great similarly.
