ssess many things, and
what evil shall I have hereafter?
Sir 11:25
In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of
affliction: and in the day of affliction there is no more
remembrance of prosperity.
Sir 11:26
For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death to
reward a man according to his ways.
Sir 11:27
The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure: and
in his end his deeds shall be discovered.
Sir 11:28
Judge none blessed before his death: for a man shall be known
in his children.
Sir 11:29
Bring not every man into thine house: for the deceitful man
hath many trains.
Sir 11:30
Like as a partridge taken [and kept] in a cage, so is the
heart of the proud; and like as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall:
Sir 11:31
For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in
things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee.
Sir 11:32
Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled: and a sinful
man layeth wait for blood.
Sir 11:33
Take heed of a mischievous man, for he worketh wickedness;
lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot.
Sir 11:34
Receive a stranger into thine house, and he will disturb
thee, and turn thee out of thine own.
Sir 12:1
When thou wilt do good know to whom thou doest it; so shalt

Sir 12:2
Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recompence;
and if not from him, yet from the most High.
Sir 12:3

evil, nor to him that giveth no alms.
Sir 12:4
Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner.
Sir 12:5
Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly:
hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he
overmaster thee thereby: for [else] thou shalt receive twice as
much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him.
Sir 12:6
For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance
unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of
their punishment.
Sir 12:7
Give unto the good, and help not the sinner.
Sir 12:8
A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot
be hidden in adversity.
Sir 12:9
In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in
his adversity even a friend will depart.
Sir 12:10
Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his
wickedness.
Sir 12:11
Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good
heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as
