Ben Sira 27:14

14 The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright, and their brawls make one stop his ears.

Ben Sira 27:14 In-Context

12 If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.
13 The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is in the wantonness of sin.
14 The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright, and their brawls make one stop his ears.
15 The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.
16 Whoso discloseth secrets loseth his credit and shall never find a friend to his mind.
