Sirach 26:27-29
Common English Bible
27 A loudmouthed and talkative wife
is like a battle trumpet
sounding an attack.
The spirit of the man
who lives under such conditions
lives perpetually in the chaos
of the battlefield.
On integrity
28 My heart has been saddened
by two things,
and I was made angry because of a third:
a warrior who is needy
and impoverished,
intelligent people who are treated
with contempt,
and people who are turned
from righteousness to sin—
the Lord will prepare them
for the sword.
29 A merchant will scarcely be kept
from wrongdoing,
and a retailer won’t be innocent of sin.
