In context
3Lest mine ignorances increase, And my sins abound to my destruction, And I fall before mine adversaries, And mine enemy rejoice over me, Whose hope is far from thy mercy.
4O Lord, Father and God of my life, Give me not a proud look.
— Sirach 23:5 —
6Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh take hold of me; And give me not over into an impudent mind.
7Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth: He that keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips.
