Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 27:14

λαλιὰ πολυόρκου ὀρθώσει τρίχας, καὶ ἡ μάχη αὐτῶν ἐμφραγμὸς ὠτίων.
King James Version (KJV)

The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright; and their brawls make one stop his ears.

Modern English

The speech of a habitual swearer makes your hair stand on end, and their quarrels make you want to cover your ears.
