Sirach 19:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ There is a man that falleth [or that slideth] by his tongue, but not of will, that is, wittingly and of (or on) purpose. For why who is he, that trespasseth not in (or with) his tongue?

¹⁷ Reprove thou a neighbour, betwixt thee and him, before that thou menace (him); and give thou place to the dread of the Highest. [Chastise a neighbour, ere that thou threaten (him); and give place to the dread of the Highest.]

¹⁸ (This verse is omitted in the original text.)
