Sirach 19:10

10 Have you heard some word? Let it perish along with you. Have courage! It won't make you burst.

Sirach 19:10 In-Context

8 Don't report it to a friend or an enemy, and, as long as it wouldn't be a sin for you, don't reveal it.
9 People might hear you or observe you, and in time they will hate you.
10 Have you heard some word? Let it perish along with you. Have courage! It won't make you burst.
11 Because of something spoken, a fool will suffer labor pains like those caused by a baby about to be delivered.
12 Like an arrow stuck in a thigh, so is a word in the belly of a fool.
