5 And turn away concupiscense from me.
6 Let not greediness and chambering overtake me; And give me not over to a shameless mind.
7 Hear you⌃, my children, the discipline of the mouth; And he that keeps it shall not be taken.
8 The sinner shall be overtaken in his lips; And the reviler and the proud man shall stumble therein.
9 Accustom not your mouth to an oath; And be not accustomed to the naming of the Holy One.
10 For as a servant that is continually scourged shall not lack a bruise, So he also that swears and names God continually shall not be cleansed from sin.
11 A man of many oaths shall be filled with iniquity; And the scourge shall not depart from his house: If he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him; And if he disregard it, he has sinned doubly; And if he has sworn in vain, he shall not be justified; For his house shall be filled with calamities.
