Ecclesiasticus 23:13

Ecclesiasticus 23:13 Context

¹¹A man that vseth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall neuer depart from his house: If he shall offend, his sinne shall be vpon him: and if he acknowledge not his sinne, hee maketh a double offence, and if he sweare in vaine, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities. ¹²There is a word that is clothed about with death: God graunt that it be not found in the heritage of Iacob, for all such things shall be farre from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sinnes. ¹³Use not thy mouth to vntemperate swearing, for therein is the word of sinne. ¹⁴Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetfull before them, and so thou by thy custome become a foole, and wish that thou hadst not beene borne, and curse the day of thy natiuitie. ¹⁵The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words, will neuer be reformed all the daies of his life.
