Sir 20:30
Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what
profit is in them both?

Sir 20:31
Better is he that hideth his folly than a man that hideth his
wisdom.

Sir 20:32
Necessary patience in seeking ing the Lord is better than he
that leadeth his life without a guide.

Sir 21:1
My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for
thy former sins.

Sir 21:2
Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou
comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as
the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.

Sir 21:3
All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof
cannot be healed.

Sir 21:4
To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of
proud men shall be made desolate.

Sir 21:5
A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of
God, and his judgment cometh speedily.

The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end
thereof is the pit of hell.

Sir 21:11
He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding
