Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 22:27

Τίς δώσει μοι ἐπὶ στόμα μου φυλακὴν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν χειλέων μου σφραγίδα πανοῦργον, ἵνα μὴ πέσω ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου ἀπολέσῃ με;
King James Version (KJV)

Who shall set a watch before my mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?

Modern English

Who will set a guard over my mouth, and a seal of wisdom on my lips, so I do not suddenly fall because of them, and so my own tongue does not destroy me?
