Sirach 19:11 CPDV

⁹  For he will listen to you and watch you, and while pretending to defend your sin, he will despise you, and so he will be whenever he is with you.

¹⁰  Have you heard a word against your neighbor? Let it die within you, trusting that it will not burst forth from you.

¹¹  Before the face of a word, a foolish man labors, like a woman groaning as she gives birth to a child.

¹²  Like an arrow fixed in the flesh of the thigh, so is a word in the heart of a foolish man.

¹³  Correct a friend, though perhaps there was a misunderstanding, and he may say, 'I did not do it.' Or, if he did do it, correct him, so that he may not do it again.
