Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.

Μη συγχωρησης εις το στομα σου να φερη επι σε αμαρτιαν· μηδε ειπης ενωπιον του αγγελου, οτι ητο εξ αγνοιας· δια τι να οργισθη ο Θεος εις την φωνην σου και να αφανιση τα εργα των χειρων σου;

Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
