Sirach 19:7LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 7 of 28
"Rehearse not again a wicked and harsh word, and thou shalt not fare the worse."
In context
5He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil.
6He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned.
7Rehearse not again a wicked and harsh word, and thou shalt not fare the worse.
8Tell not thy mind to friend or foe: and if there be a sin with thee, disclose it not.
9For he will hearken to thee, and will watch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always.
