Sirach 37:23LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 23 of 34
"He that speaketh sophistically, is hateful: he shall be destitute of every thing."
In context
21A wicked word shall change the beast: out of which four manner of things arise, good and evil, life and death: and the tongue is continually the ruler of them. There is a man that is subtle and a teacher of many, and yet is unprofitable to his own soul.
22A skillful man hath taught many, and is sweet to his own soul.
23He that speaketh sophistically, is hateful: he shall be destitute of every thing.
24Grace is not given him from the Lord: for he is deprived of all wisdom.
25There is a wise man that is wise to his own soul: and the fruit of his understanding is commendable.
