27. They that forsake God shall fall into it, and it shall burn in them, and shall not be quenched, and it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and as a leopard it shall tear them.
28. Hedge in thy ears with thorns, hear not a wicked tongue, and make doors and bars to thy mouth.
29. Melt down thy gold and silver, and make a balance for thy words, and a just bridle for thy mouth:
30. And take heed lest thou slip with thy tongue, and fall in the sight of thy enemies who lie in wait for thee, and thy fall be incurable unto death.
