hath prosperity in all things: yea,
unto him that is yet able to receive meat!

Sir 41:2
O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy, and unto
him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and is
vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and hath lost
patience!

Sir 41:3
Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been
before thee, and that come after; for this is the sentence of
the Lord over all flesh.

Sir 41:4
And why art thou against the pleasure of the most High? there
is no inquisition in the grave, whether thou have lived ten, or
an hundred, or a thousand years.

Sir 41:5
The children of sinners are abominable children, and they
that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly.

Sir 41:6
The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and their
posterity shall have a perpetual reproach.

Sir 41:14

both?

Sir 41:15
A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man that
hideth his wisdom.

Sir 41:16
Therefore be shamefaced according to my word: for it is not
good to retain all shamefacedness; neither is it altogether
approved in every thing.

Sir 41:17
Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother: and of a lie
before a prince and a mighty man;

Sir 41:18
Of an offence before a judge and ruler; of iniquity before a
congregation and people; of unjust dealing before thy partner
and friend;

Sir 41:19
