Sir 13:11
Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, and believe not
his many words: for with much communication will he tempt thee,
and smiling upon thee will get out thy secrets:

Sir 13:12
But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not spare to
do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison.

Sir 13:13
Observe, and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of thy
overthrowing: when thou hearest these things, awake in thy
sleep.

Sir 13:14
Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy
salvation.

Sir 13:15
Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his
neighbor.

Sir 13:16
All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave
to his like.

Sir 13:17
What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? so the sinner
with the godly.

Sir 13:18
What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what
peace between the rich and the poor?

Sir 13:19
As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness: so the
rich eat up the poor.

A rich man beginning to fall is held up of his friends: but a

could have no place.

Sir 13:23
When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, and,
look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: but if the
poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he
stumble, they will help to overthrow him.

Sir 13:24
Riches are good unto him that hath no sin, and poverty is
evil in the mouth of the ungodly.

Sir 13:25
The heart of a man changeth his countenance, whether it be
for good or evil: and a merry heart maketh a cheerful
countenance.

Sir 13:26
A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is in
prosperity; and the finding out of parables is a wearisome
labour of the mind.

Sir 14:1
Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and
is not pricked with the multitude of sins.

Sir 14:2
Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and
who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord.

Sir 14:3
Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an
envious man do with money?

Sir 14:4
