Sirach 23:12-17 World English Bible (WEB)

12. There is a manner of speech that is clothed about with death: Let it not be found in the heritage of Jacob; For all these things shall be far from the godly, And they shall not wallow in sins.

13. Accustom not your mouth to gross rudeness, For therein is the word of sin.

14. Remember your father and your mother, For you sit in the midst of great men; That you be not forgetful before them, And become a fool by your custom; So shall you wish that you had not been born, And curse the day of your nativity.

15. A man that is accustomed to words of reproach Will not be corrected all the days of his life.

16. Two sorts of men multiply sins, And the third will bring wrath: A hot mind, as a burning fire, will not be quenched till it be consumed: A fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he has burned out the fire.

17. All bread is sweet to a fornicator: He will not leave off till he die.
