6
Let neither gluttony nor lust overcome me, and do not give me over to shameless passion.
7
Listen, my children, to instruction concerning the mouth; the one who observes it will never be caught.
8
Sinners are overtaken through their lips; by them the reviler and the arrogant are tripped up.
9
Do not accustom your mouth to oaths, nor habitually utter the name of the Holy One;
10
for as a servant who is constantly under scrutiny will not lack bruises, so also the person who always swears and utters the Name will never be cleansed from sin.
