Sirach 23:8

8 The lips of sinners will seize them and make abusers and the arrogant stumble.

Sirach 23:8 In-Context

6 Don't allow gluttony or sexual desire to overtake me, and don't hand me over to a shameless spirit.

7 Listen, my children, to instruction about your mouth; whoever follows my instruction will never succumb to it.

8 The lips of sinners will seize them and make abusers and the arrogant stumble.

9 Don't let your mouth get used to making solemn pledges, and don't get accustomed to saying the name of the holy one.

10 Just as a household slave who is constantly examined won't be lacking bruises, so also the person who always swears and speaks the Lord's name will never be cleansed from sin.
