Sirach 20:26LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 26 of 33
"A lie is a foul blot in a man, and yet it will be continually in the mouth of men without discipline."
In context
24There is that will destroy his own soul through shamefacedness, and by occasion of an unwise person he will destroy it: and by respect of person he will destroy himself.
25There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.
26A lie is a foul blot in a man, and yet it will be continually in the mouth of men without discipline.
27A thief is better than a man that is always lying: but both of them shall inherit destruction.
28The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.
