Sirach 23:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ Remember your father and mother
    when^[a] you sit among great men;
lest you be forgetful in their presence,
    and be deemed a fool on account of your habits;
then you will wish that you had never been born,
    and you will curse the day of your birth.
¹⁵ A man accustomed to use insulting words
    will never become disciplined all his days.

¹⁶ Two sorts of men multiply sins,
    and a third incurs wrath.
The soul heated like a burning fire
    will not be quenched until it is consumed;
a man who commits fornication with his near of kin^[b]
    will never cease until the fire burns him up.
