In context
9For he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he will hate thee.
10If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee; and be bold, it will not burst thee.
— Sirach 19:11 —
12As an arrow that sticketh in a man’s thigh, so is a word within a fool’s belly.
13Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it: and if he have done it, that he do it no more.
