other.
Sir 36:19
As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison: so doth an
heart of understanding false speeches.
Sir 36:20
A froward heart causeth heaviness: but a man of experience
will recompense him.
Sir 36:21
A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better
than another.
Sir 36:22
The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man
loveth nothing better.
Sir 36:23
If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue,
then is not her husband like other men.
Sir 36:24
He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like
unto himself, and a pillar of rest.
Sir 36:25
Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he
that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.
Sir 36:26
Who will trust a thief well appointed, that skippeth from
city to city? so [who will believe] a man that hath no house,
and lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him?
Sir 37:1
Every friend saith, I am his friend also: but there is a
friend, which is only a friend in name.
Sir 37:2
Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend is
turned to an enemy?
Sir 37:3
O wicked imagination, whence camest thou in to cover the
earth with deceit?
Sir 37:4
There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity of a
friend, but in the time of trouble will be against him.
Sir 37:5
There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the belly,
and taketh up the buckler against the enemy.
Sir 37:6
Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of
him in thy riches.
Sir 37:7
Every counsellor extolleth counsel; but there is some that
counselleth for himself.
Sir 37:8
Beware of a counsellor, and know before what need he hath;
for he will counsel for himself; lest he cast the lot upon thee,
Sir 37:9
And say unto thee, Thy way is good: and afterward he stand on
the other side, to see what shall befall thee.
Sir 37:10
Consult not with one that suspecteth thee: and hide thy
counsel from such as envy thee.
Sir 37:11
Neither consult with a woman touching her of whom she is
jealous; neither with a coward in matters of war; nor with a
merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer of selling; nor
with an envious man of thankfulness; nor with an unmerciful man
touching kindness; nor with the slothful for any work; nor with
an hireling for a year of finishing work; nor with an idle
servant of much business: hearken not unto these in any matter
of counsel.
