Sirach 23:15LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 15 of 38
"There is also another speech opposite to death, let it not be found in the inheritance of Jacob."
In context
13And if he make it void, his sin shall be upon him: and if he dissemble it, he offendeth double:
14And if he swear in vain, he shall not be justified: for his house shall be filled with his punishment.
15There is also another speech opposite to death, let it not be found in the inheritance of Jacob.
16For from the merciful all these things shall be taken away, and they shall not wallow in sins.
17Let not thy mouth be accustomed to indiscreet speech: for therein is the word of sin.
