Sirach 28:15DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 15 of 30

"The whisperer and the double tongued is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace."
Sirach 28:15

In context

13A hasty contention kindleth a fire: and a hasty quarrel sheddeth blood: and a tongue that beareth witness bringeth death.

14If thou blow the spark, it shall burn as a fire: and if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: both come out of the mouth.

15The whisperer and the double tongued is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace.

16The tongue of a third person hath disquieted many, and scattered them from nation to nation.

17It hath destroyed the strong cities of the rich, and hath overthrown the houses of great men.
