Sirach 20:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!

¹⁹ For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had.

²⁰ The slipping of a false tongue is as one that falleth on the pavement: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
