Sirach 28:23-25 World English Bible (WEB)

23. They that forsake the Lord shall fall into it; And it shall burn among them, and shall not be quenched: It shall be sent forth upon them as a lion; And as a leopard it shall destroy them.

24. Look that you hedge your possession about with thorns; Bind up your silver and your gold;

25. And make a balance and a weight for your words; And make a door and a bar for your mouth.
