Ben Sira 23:15

15 There is also another speech opposite to death, let it not be found in the inheritance of Jacob.

Ben Sira 23:15 In-Context

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