Sirach 23:15

Listen to Sirach 23:15
15 People who are accustomed to reproachful words will never learn anything their whole life.

Sirach 23:15 In-Context

13 Don't grow accustomed to saying coarse things, because to do so is to engage in sinful speech.
14 Remember your father and mother, because you sit in the council among officials. This way, you won't forget yourself in front of them and act foolishly out of habit— then you'd wish that you hadn't been born, and you'd curse the day of your birth
15 People who are accustomed to reproachful words will never learn anything their whole life.
16 Two types of people multiply sins, and a third will bring wrath. A hot temperament that burns like fire will never be quenched until it is spent. People who are promiscuous with their kin will never stop until the fire burns out.
17 To promiscuous people all bread is sweet; they don't become weary until they die.
