Sirach 23:6-8
Common English Bible

6 Don’t allow gluttony or sexual desire
to overtake me,
    and don’t hand me over
    to a shameless spirit.[a]

Instruction about the mouth[b]

7 Listen, my children, to instruction
about your mouth;
    whoever follows my instruction
    will never succumb to it.
8 The lips of sinners will seize them
    and make abusers
    and the arrogant stumble.
