Ecclesiasticus 19:5

Ecclesiasticus 19:5 Context

²Wine and women will make men of understanding to fall away: and he that cleaveth to harlots will become impudent. ³Moths and worms shall have him to heritage, and a bold man shall be taken away. ⁴He that is hasty to give credit is lightminded; and he that sinneth shall offend against his own soul. ⁵Whoso taketh pleasure in wickedness shall be condemned: but he that resisteth pleasures crowneth his life. ⁶He that can rule his tongue shall live without strife; and he that hateth babbling shall have less evil. ⁷Rehearse not unto another that which is told unto thee, and thou shalt fare never the worse. ⁸Whether it be to friend or foe, talk not of other men's lives; and if thou canst without offence, reveal them not.
