l
rejoice of him among his acquaintance.

Sir 30:3
He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his
friends he shall rejoice of him.

Sir 30:4
Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead:
for he hath left one behind him that is like himself.

Sir 30:5
While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died,
he was not sorrowful.

Sir 30:6
He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one
that shall requite kindness to his friends.

Sir 30:7
He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds;
and his bowels will be troubled at every cry.

Sir 30:8
An horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to
himself will be wilful.

Sir 30:9
Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with
him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.

Sir 30:10
Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest
thou gnash thy teeth in the end.

Sir 30:11
Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his
follies.

Sir 30:12
Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on the

Sir 30:13
Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd

Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution,
than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.

Sir 30:15
Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a
strong body above infinite wealth.

Sir 30:16
There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the
joy of the heart.

Sir 30:17
Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness.

Sir 30:18
Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat
set upon a grave.

Sir 30:19
What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it
eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord.

Sir 30:20
He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that
embraceth a virgin and sigheth.

Sir 30:21
Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself
in thine own counsel.

Sir 30:22
The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the
joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.

Sir 30:23
Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far
from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit
