Sirach 19:12DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 12 of 28

"As an arrow that sticketh in a man’s thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool."
Sirach 19:12

In context

10Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee.

11At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning. in the bringing forth a child.

12As an arrow that sticketh in a man’s thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool.

13Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say: I did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more.

14Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again.
