Ben Sira 19:12

12 As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh, so is a word within a fool's belly.

Ben Sira 19:12 In-Context

10 If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee; and be bold, it will not burst thee.
11 A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labor with a child.
12 As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh, so is a word within a fool's belly.
13 Admonish a friend; it may be he hath not done it; and if he have done it, that he do it no more.
14 Admonish thy friend; it may be he hath not said it; and if he have, that he speak it not again.
