Ben Sira 23:20

20 The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words, will never be corrected all the days of his life.

Ben Sira 23:20 In-Context

18 Remember thy father and thy mother, for thou sittest is the midst of great men:

19 Lest God forget thee in their sight, and thou, by thy daily custom, be infatuated and suffer reproach: and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse the day of thy nativity

20 The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words, will never be corrected all the days of his life.

21 Two sorts of men multiply sins, and the third bringeth wrath and destruction

22 A hot soul is a burning fire, it will never be quenched, till it devour some thing.
