Ben Sira 19:11

11 At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning. in the bringing forth a child.

Ben Sira 19:11 In-Context

9 For he will hearken to thee, and will witch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always.

10 Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee.

11 At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning. in the bringing forth a child.

12 As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool.

13 Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say : f did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more.
