Sirach 28:29DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 29 of 30
"Melt down thy gold and silver, and make a balance for thy words, and a just bridle for thy mouth:"
In context
27They that forsake God shall fall into it, and it shall burn in them, and shall not be quenched, and it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and as a leopard it shall tear them.
28Hedge in thy ears with thorns, hear not a wicked tongue, and make doors and bars to thy mouth.
29Melt down thy gold and silver, and make a balance for thy words, and a just bridle for thy mouth:
30And take heed lest thou slip with thy tongue, and fall in the sight of thy enemies who lie in wait for thee, and thy fall be incurable unto death.
