One: and them
that love her the Lord doth love.
Sir 4:15
Whoso giveth ear unto her shall judge the nations: and he
that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely.
Sir 4:16
If a man commit himself unto her, he shall inherit her; and
his generation shall hold her in possession.
Sir 4:17
For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and
bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her
discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her
laws.
Sir 4:18
Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort
him, and shew him her secrets.
Sir 4:19
But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over
to his own ruin.
Sir 4:20
Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; and be not
ashamed when it concerneth thy soul.
Sir 4:21
For there is a shame that bringeth sin; and there is a shame
which is glory and grace.
Sir 4:22
Accept no person against thy soul, and let not the reverence
of any man cause thee to fall.
Sir 4:23
And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good,
and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty.
Sir 4:24
For by speech wisdom shall be known: and learning by the word
of the tongue.
Sir 4:25
In no wise speak against the truth; but be abashed of the
error of thine ignorance.
Sir 4:26
Be not ashamed to confess thy sins; and force not the course
of the river.
Sir 4:27
Make not thyself an underling to a foolish man; neither
accept the person of the mighty.
Sir 4:28
Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight for
thee.
Sir 4:29
Be not hasty in thy tongue, and in thy deeds slack and
remiss.
Sir 4:30
Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantick among thy
servants.
Sir 4:31
Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when
thou shouldest repay.
Sir 5:1
Set thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for
my life.
Sir 5:2
Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the
ways of thy heart:
Sir 5:3
And say not, Who shall controul me for my works? for the Lord
will surely revenge thy pride.
Sir 5:4
Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me?
for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.
Sir 5:5
Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto
sin:
Sir 5:6
And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the
multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his
indignation resteth upon sinners.
