Ben Sira 28:26

26 Someone may be waiting for you to slip, and if you are not careful, you will stumble over your own words and fall down in front of him.

Ben Sira 28:26 In-Context

24 Don't you fence in your property? Don't you lock up your money?

25 Well, be just as careful with what you say. Weigh every word, and have a lock ready for your mouth.

26 Someone may be waiting for you to slip, and if you are not careful, you will stumble over your own words and fall down in front of him.
