Ben Sira 7:15

15 Be not full of words in a multitude of ancients, and repeat not the word in thy prayer.

Ben Sira 7:15 In-Context

13 Devise not a lie against thy brother: neither do the like against thy friend.
14 Be not willing to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good.
15 Be not full of words in a multitude of ancients, and repeat not the word in thy prayer.
16 Hate not laborious works, nor husbandry ordained by the most High.
17 Number not thyself among the multitude of the disorderly.
