Sirach 28:29-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. Melt down your gold and your silver. And make a scale for your words, and an upright bridle for your mouth.

30. And be attentive, lest perhaps you may slip with your tongue, and fall in the sight of your enemies, who are lying in wait for you, and then your fall may be incurable unto death.
