Sirach 43:19
The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes.

Sirach 43:20
When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate.

Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honoured; for God made all quiet round about him, that he might build an house in his name, and prepare his sanctuary for ever.

Sirach 47:14
How wise wast thou in thy youth and, as a flood, filled with understanding!

Sirach 47:15
Thy soul covered the whole earth, and thou filledst it with dark parables.

Sirach 47:16
Thy name went far unto the islands; and for thy peace thou wast beloved.

Sirach 47:17
The countries marvelled at thee for thy songs, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations.

Sirach 47:18
By the name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tin and didst multiply silver as lead.

Sirach 47:19
Thou didst bow thy loins unto women, and by thy body thou wast brought into subjection.

Sirach 47:20
Thou didst stain thy honour, and pollute thy seed: so that thou broughtest wrath upon thy children, and wast grieved for thy folly.

Sirach 47:21
So the kingdom was divided, and out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdom.

Sirach 47:22
But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, neither shall any of his works perish, neither will he abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him that loveth him he will not take away: wherefore he gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David.

Sirach 47:23
Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness of the people, and one that had no understanding, who turned away the people through his counsel. There was also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and shewed Ephraim the way of sin:

Sirach 47:24
And their sins were multiplied exceedingly, that they were driven out of the land.

Sirach 48:1
Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.

Sirach 48:2
He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.

Sirach 48:3
By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.

Sirach 48:4
O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!

Sirach 48:5
Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most High:

Sirach 48:6
Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honorable men from their bed:

Sirach 48:7
Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:

Sirach 48:8
Who annointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:

Sirach 48:9
Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:

Sirach 48:10
Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord's judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.

Sirach 48:11
Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.

Sirach 48:12
Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.

Sirach 48:13
No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied.

Sirach 48:14
He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marvellous.

Sirach 48:15
For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:

Sirach 48:16
Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins.

Sirach 48:17
Ezekias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof: he digged the hard rock with iron, and made wells for waters.

Sirach 48:18
In his time Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted proudly.

Sirach 48:19
Then trembled their hearts and hands, and they were in pain, as women in travail.

Sirach 48:20
But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.

Sirach 48:21
He smote the host of the Assyrians, and his angel destroyed them.

Sirach 48:22
For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.

Sirach 48:23
In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king's life.

Sirach 48:24
He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last, and he comforted them that mourned in Sion.

Sirach 48:25
He shewed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things or ever they came.

Sirach 49:1
The remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine.

Sirach 49:2
He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity.

Sirach 49:3
He directed his heart unto the Lord, and in the time of the ungodly he established the worship of God.

Sirach 49:4
All, except David and Ezekias and Josias, were defective: for they forsook the law of the most High, even the kings of Juda failed.

Sirach 49:5
Therefore he gave their power unto others, and their glory to a strange nation.

Sirach 49:6
They burnt the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made the streets desolate, according to the prophecy of Jeremias.

Sirach 49:7
For they entreated him evil, who nevertheless was a prophet, sanctified in his mother's womb, that he might root out, and afflict, and destroy; and that he might build up also, and plant.

Sirach 49:9
For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of the rain, and directed them that went right.

Sirach 49:10
And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be blessed, and let their bones flourish again out of their place: for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope.

Sirach 49:12
So was Jesus the son of Josedec: who in their time builded the house, and set up an holy temple to the Lord, which was prepared for everlasting glory.

Sirach 49:13
And among the elect was Neemias, whose renown is great, who raised up for us the walls that were fallen, and set up the gates and the bars, and raised up our ruins again.

Sirach 49:16
Sem and Seth were in great honour among men, and so was Adam above every living thing in creation.

Sirach 50:1
Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life repaired the house again, and in his days fortified the temple:

Sirach 50:2
And by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:

Sirach 50:4
He took care of the temple that it should not fall, and fortified the city against besieging:

Sirach 50:6
He was as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full:

Sirach 50:7
As the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:

Sirach 50:8
And as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense tree in the time of summer:

Sirach 50:9
As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:

Sirach 50:10
And as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.

Sirach 50:11
When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness honourable.

Sirach 50:12
When he took the portions out of the priests' hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed they him round about.

Sirach 50:13
So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.

Sirach 50:14
And finishing the service at the altar, that he might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty,

Sirach 50:15
He stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the most high King of all.

Sirach 50:16
Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded the silver trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance before the most High.

Sirach 50:17
Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the most High.

Sirach 50:19
And the people besought the Lord, the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.

Sirach 50:20
Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.

Sirach 50:21
And they bowed themselves down to worship the second time, that they might receive a blessing from the most High.

Sirach 50:22
Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which only doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to his mercy.

Sirach 50:23
He grant us joyfulness of heart, and that peace may be in our days in Israel for ever:

Sirach 50:24
That he would confirm his mercy with us, and deliver us at his time!

Sirach 50:25
There be two manner of nations which my heart abhorreth, and the third is no nation:

Sirach 50:26
They that sit upon the mountain of Samaria, and they that dwell among the Philistines, and that foolish people that dwell in Sichem.

Sirach 50:27
Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem hath written in this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.

Sirach 50:28
Blessed is he that shall be exercised in these things; and he that layeth them up in his heart shall become wise.

Sirach 51:1
[A Prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach.] I will thank thee, O Lord and King, and praise thee, O God my Saviour: I do give praise unto thy name:

Sirach 51:2
For thou art my defender and helper, and has preserved my body from destruction, and from the snare of the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and has been mine helper against mine adversaries:

Sirach 51:3
And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of they mercies and greatness of thy name, from the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands of such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afflictions which I had;

Sirach 51:4
From the choking of fire on every side, and from the midst of the fire which I kindled not;

Sirach 51:5
From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, and from lying words.

Sirach 51:7
They compassed me on every side, and there was no man to help me: I looked for the succour of men, but there was none.

Sirach 51:8
Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon thy acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies.

Sirach 51:9
Then lifted I up my supplications from the earth, and prayed for deliverance from death.

Sirach 51:10
I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in the time of the proud, when there was no help.

Sirach 51:11
I will praise thy name continually, and will sing praises with thanksgiving; and so my prayer was heard:

Sirach 51:12
For thou savedst me from destruction, and deliveredst me from the evil time: therefore will I give thanks, and praise thee, and bless they name, O Lord.

Sirach 51:14
I prayed for her before the temple, and will seek her out even to the end.

Sirach 51:16
I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, and gat much learning.

Sirach 51:18
For I purposed to do after her, and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be confounded.

Sirach 51:19
My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.

Sirach 51:20
I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be foresaken.

Sirach 51:22
The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.

Sirach 51:23
Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning.

Sirach 51:24
Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye to these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty?

Sirach 51:25
I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money.

Sirach 51:26
Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find.

Sirach 51:27
Behold with your eyes, how that I have but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest.

Sirach 51:28
Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much gold by her.

Sirach 51:29
Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and be not ashamed of his praise.

Sirach 51:30
Work your work betimes, and in his time he will give you your reward.

Baruch 1:1
And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,

Baruch 1:2
In the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.

Baruch 1:3
And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,

Baruch 1:4
And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.

Baruch 1:5
Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord.

Baruch 1:7
And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,

Baruch 1:9
After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon.

Baruch 1:10
And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;

Baruch 1:11
And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:

Baruch 1:12
And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.

Baruch 1:13
Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us.

Baruch 1:14
And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.

Baruch 1:15
And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

Baruch 1:16
And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers:

Baruch 1:18
And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:

Baruch 1:19
Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.

Baruch 1:20
Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.

Baruch 1:22
But every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.

Baruch 2:1
Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,

Baruch 2:3
That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.

Baruch 2:4
Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.

Baruch 2:5
Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.

Baruch 2:6
To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.

Baruch 2:9
Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.

Baruch 2:11
And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:

Baruch 2:14
Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:

Baruch 2:15
That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.

Baruch 2:16
O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us.

Baruch 2:17
Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:

Baruch 2:18
But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord.

Baruch 2:19
Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.

Baruch 2:20
For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying,

Baruch 2:23
I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.

Baruch 2:24
But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.

Baruch 2:25
And, lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.

Baruch 2:26
And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.

Baruch 2:27
O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,

Baruch 2:31
And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:

Baruch 2:32
And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,

Baruch 2:33
And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.

Baruch 2:34
And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.

Baruch 2:35
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.

Baruch 3:2
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy; for thou art merciful: and have pity upon us, because we have sinned before thee.

Baruch 3:3
For thou endurest for ever, and we perish utterly.

Baruch 3:4
O Lord Almighty, thou God of Israel, hear now the prayers of the dead Israelites, and of their children, which have sinned before thee, and not hearkened unto the voice of thee their God: for the which cause these plagues cleave unto us.

Baruch 3:5
Remember not the iniquities of our forefathers: but think upon thy power and thy name now at this time.

Baruch 3:6
For thou art the Lord our God, and thee, O Lord, will we praise.

Baruch 3:7
And for this cause thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity: for we have called to mind all the iniquity of our forefathers, that sinned before thee.

Baruch 3:8
Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.

Baruch 3:14
Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding; that thou mayest know also where is length of days, and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.

Baruch 3:16
Where are the princes of the heathen become, and such as ruled the beasts upon the earth;

Baruch 3:17
They that had their pastime with the fowls of the air, and they that hoarded up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and made no end of their getting?

Baruch 3:18
For they that wrought in silver, and were so careful, and whose works are unsearchable,

Baruch 3:19
They are vanished and gone down to the grave, and others are come up in their steads.

Baruch 3:20
Young men have seen light, and dwelt upon the earth: but the way of knowledge have they not known,

Baruch 3:23
The Agarenes that seek wisdom upon earth, the merchants of Meran and of Theman, the authors of fables, and searchers out of understanding; none of these have known the way of wisdom, or remember her paths.

Baruch 3:24
O Israel, how great is the house of God! and how large is the place of his possession!

Baruch 3:25
Great, and hath none end; high, and unmeasurable.

Baruch 3:26
There were the giants famous from the beginning, that were of so great stature, and so expert in war.

Baruch 3:28
But they were destroyed, because they had no wisdom, and perished through their own foolishness.

Baruch 3:29
Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought her down from the clouds?

Baruch 3:30
Who hath gone over the sea, and found her, and will bring her for pure gold?

Baruch 3:32
But he that knoweth all things knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore hath filled it with fourfooted beasts:

Baruch 3:33
He that sendeth forth light, and it goeth, calleth it again, and it obeyeth him with fear.

Baruch 3:34
The stars shined in their watches, and rejoiced: when he calleth them, they say, Here we be; and so with cheerfulness they shewed light unto him that made them.

Baruch 3:35
This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted of in comparison of him

Baruch 3:36
He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved.

Baruch 3:37
Afterward did he shew himself upon earth, and conversed with men.

Baruch 4:1
This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endureth for ever: all they that keep it shall come to life; but such as leave it shall die.

Baruch 4:2
Turn thee, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk in the presence of the light thereof, that thou mayest be illuminated.

Baruch 4:7
For ye provoked him that made you by sacrificing unto devils, and not to God.

Baruch 4:8
Ye have forgotten the everlasting God, that brought you up; and ye have grieved Jerusalem, that nursed you.

Baruch 4:10
For I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.

Baruch 4:11
With joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.

Baruch 4:12
Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate; because they departed from the law of God.

Baruch 4:14
Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting hath brought upon them.

Baruch 4:15
For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, a shameless nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old man, nor pitied child.

Baruch 4:16
These have carried away the dear beloved children of the widow, and left her that was alone desolate without daughters.

Baruch 4:20
I have put off the clothing of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days.

Baruch 4:21
Be of good cheer, O my children, cry unto the Lord, and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.

Baruch 4:22
For my hope is in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting our Saviour.

Baruch 4:23
For I sent you out with mourning and weeping: but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever.

Baruch 4:24
Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.

Baruch 4:25
My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you from God: for thine enemy hath persecuted thee; but shortly thou shalt see his destruction, and shalt tread upon his neck.

Baruch 4:26
My delicate ones have gone rough ways, and were taken away as a flock caught of the enemies.

Baruch 4:27
Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto God: for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you.
