7. Listen, my children, to instruction concerning the mouth,for whoever keeps it will not be ensnared.
8. Through the lips the sinner is caught;by them the reviler and the arrogant are tripped up.
9. Do not accustom your mouth to oaths,or habitually utter the Holy Name.
10. Just as a servant constantly under scrutinywill not be without bruises,So one who swears continually by the Holy Namewill never remain free from sin.
11. Those who swear many oaths heap up offenses;and the scourge will never be far from their houses.If they swear in error, guilt is incurred;if they neglect their obligation, the sin is doubly great.If they swear without reason they cannot be declared innocent,for their households will be filled with calamities.
