Wisdom of Solomon 11:7
For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:

Wisdom of Solomon 11:9
For when they were tried albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.

Wisdom of Solomon 11:12

Wisdom of Solomon 11:21
For thou canst shew thy great strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm?

Wisdom of Solomon 11:22
For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.

Wisdom of Solomon 11:23
But thou hast mercy upon all; for thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend.

Wisdom of Solomon 11:24
For thou lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest thou have made any thing, if thou hadst hated it.

Wisdom of Solomon 11:26
But thou sparest all: for they are thine, O Lord, thou lover of souls.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:1
For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:3
For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,

Wisdom of Solomon 12:4
Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;

Wisdom of Solomon 12:11
For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither didst thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things wherein they sinned.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:12
For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall accuse thee for the nations that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?

Wisdom of Solomon 12:13
For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is not unright.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:14

Wisdom of Solomon 12:17
For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:18
But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:19
But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:20
For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice:

Wisdom of Solomon 12:22
Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:24
For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no understanding.

Wisdom of Solomon 12:27
For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; [now] being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

Wisdom of Solomon 13:3
With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them.

Wisdom of Solomon 13:5
For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen.

Wisdom of Solomon 13:6
But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.

Wisdom of Solomon 13:7
For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.

Wisdom of Solomon 13:9
For if they were able to know so much, that they could aim at the world; how did they not sooner find out the Lord thereof?

Wisdom of Solomon 13:10
But miserable are they, and in dead things is their hope, who call them gods, which are the works of men's hands, gold and silver, to shew art in, and resemblances of beasts, or a stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.

Wisdom of Solomon 13:11
Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skillfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life;

Wisdom of Solomon 13:15
And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:

Wisdom of Solomon 13:16
For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and hath need of help:

Wisdom of Solomon 13:17
Then maketh he prayer for his goods, for his wife and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life.

Wisdom of Solomon 13:18
For health he calleth upon that which is weak: for life prayeth to that which is dead; for aid humbly beseecheth that which hath least means to help: and for a good journey he asketh of that which cannot set a foot forward:

Wisdom of Solomon 13:19
And for gaining and getting, and for good success of his hands, asketh ability to do of him, that is most unable to do any thing.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:2
For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:3
But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;

Wisdom of Solomon 14:6
For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:7
For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:9
For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:10
For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:12
For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:13
For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:14
For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:15
For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:19
For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:20
And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:21
And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:22
Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:23
For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;

Wisdom of Solomon 14:27
For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:28
For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:29
For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:30
Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.

Wisdom of Solomon 14:31
For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:2
For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power: but we will not sin, knowing that we are counted thine.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:3
For to know thee is perfect righteousness: yea, to know thy power is the root of immortality.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:4
For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceive us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the painter's fruitless labour;

Wisdom of Solomon 15:7
For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:12
But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be getting every way, though it be by evil means.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:13
For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:15
For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:16
For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like unto himself.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:17
For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never.

Wisdom of Solomon 15:18
Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:2
Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:

Wisdom of Solomon 16:3
To the end that they, desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:4
For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid: but to these it should only be shewed how their enemies were tormented.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:5
For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever:

Wisdom of Solomon 16:6
But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:7
For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:9
For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:10
But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:11
For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:12
For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:13
For thou hast power of life and death: thou leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:16
For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:17
For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water, that quencheth all things: for the world fighteth for the righteous.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:18
For sometime the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgment of God.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:21
For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man's liking.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:24
For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in thee.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:27
For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:

Wisdom of Solomon 16:29
For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:1
For great are thy judgments, and cannot be expressed: therefore unnurtured souls have erred.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:2
For when unrighteous men thought to oppress the holy nation; they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness, and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay [there] exiled from the eternal providence.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:3
For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with [strange] apparitions.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:4
For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear: but noises [as of waters] falling down sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:6
Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:7
As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:8
For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:9
For though no terrible thing did fear them; yet being scared with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents,

Wisdom of Solomon 17:10
They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:11
For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forecasteth grievous things.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:12
For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours which reason offereth.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:15
Were partly vexed with monstrous apparitions, and partly fainted, their heart failing them: for a sudden fear, and not looked for, came upon them.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:17
For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:19
Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.

Wisdom of Solomon 17:20
For the whole world shined with clear light, and none were hindered in their labour:

Wisdom of Solomon 18:2
But for that they did not hurt them now, of whom they had been wronged before, they thanked them, and besought them pardon for that they had been enemies.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:4
For they were worthy to be deprived of light and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy sons shut up, by whom the uncorrupt light of the law was to be given unto the world.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:8
For wherewith thou didst punish our adversaries, by the same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst called.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:9
For the righteous children of good men did sacrifice secretly, and with one consent made a holy law, that the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the songs of praise.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:10
But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable noise was carried abroad for children that were bewailed.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:12
So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:13
For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:14
For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course,

Wisdom of Solomon 18:17
Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:19
For the dreams that troubled them did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:21
For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:23
For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:24
For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the daidem of his head.

Wisdom of Solomon 18:25
Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:1
As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;

Wisdom of Solomon 19:3
For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:4
For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfill the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

Wisdom of Solomon 19:6
For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

Wisdom of Solomon 19:9
For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:10
For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:12
For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:13
And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:14
For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:18
For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:19
For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.

Wisdom of Solomon 19:22
For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.

Sirach 1:1
All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever.

Sirach 1:22
A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.

Sirach 1:23
A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.

Sirach 1:24
He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.

Sirach 1:27
For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight.

Sirach 2:1
My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation.

Sirach 2:5
For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.

Sirach 2:7
Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and go not aside, lest ye fall.

Sirach 2:9
Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting joy and mercy.

Sirach 2:11
For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction.

Sirach 2:13
Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended.

Sirach 2:18
Saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy.

Sirach 3:2
For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.

Sirach 3:3
Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:

Sirach 3:9
For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.

Sirach 3:10
Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee.

Sirach 3:11
For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.

Sirach 3:14
For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.

Sirach 3:20
For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of the lowly.

Sirach 3:21
Seek not out things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.

Sirach 3:22
But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.

Sirach 3:23
Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.

Sirach 3:24
For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.

Sirach 3:28
In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.

Sirach 3:30
Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sins.

Sirach 4:6
For if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard of him that made him.

Sirach 4:17
For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws.

Sirach 4:21
For there is a shame that bringeth sin; and there is a shame which is glory and grace.

Sirach 4:24
For by speech wisdom shall be known: and learning by the word of the tongue.

Sirach 4:28
Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight for thee.

Sirach 5:1
Set thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life.

Sirach 5:3
And say not, Who shall control me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride.

Sirach 5:4
Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.

Sirach 5:6
And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners.

Sirach 5:7
Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.

Sirach 5:8
Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.

Sirach 5:9
Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue.

Sirach 5:14
Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condemnation upon the double tongue.

Sirach 6:1
Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for [thereby] thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue.

Sirach 6:8
For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.

Sirach 6:17
Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also.

Sirach 6:19
Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon.

Sirach 6:22
For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.

Sirach 6:28
For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.

Sirach 6:29
Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.

Sirach 6:30
For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.

Sirach 7:8
Bind not one sin upon another; for in one thou shalt not be unpunished.

Sirach 7:11
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.

Sirach 7:13
Use not to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good.

Sirach 7:17
Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.

Sirach 7:18
Change not a friend for any good by no means; neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.

Sirach 7:19
Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold.

Sirach 7:20
Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil. nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee.

Sirach 7:22
Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.

Sirach 7:28
Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee?

Sirach 7:33
A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living; and for the dead detain it not.

Sirach 7:35
Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be beloved.

Sirach 8:2
Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings.

Sirach 8:6
Dishonour not a man in his old age: for even some of us wax old.

Sirach 8:8
Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease.

Sirach 8:9
Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth.

Sirach 8:12
Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest him, count it but lost.

Sirach 8:13
Be not surety above thy power: for if thou be surety, take care to pay it.

Sirach 8:14
Go not to law with a judge; for they will judge for him according to his honour.

Sirach 8:15
Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee: for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly.

Sirach 8:16

Sirach 8:18
Do no secret thing before a stranger; for thou knowest not what he will bring forth.

Sirach 9:8
Turn away thine eye from a beautiful woman, and look not upon another's beauty; for many have been deceived by the beauty of a woman; for herewith love is kindled as a fire.

Sirach 9:10
Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.

Sirach 9:11
Envy not the glory of a sinner: for thou knowest not what shall be his end.

Sirach 9:17
For the hand of the artificer the work shall be commended: and the wise ruler of the people for his speech.

Sirach 10:6
Bear not hatred to thy neighbour for every wrong; and do nothing at all by injurious practices.

Sirach 10:9
Why is earth and ashes proud? There is not a more wicked thing than a covetous man: for such an one setteth his own soul to sale; because while he liveth he casteth away his bowels.

Sirach 10:11
For when a man is dead, he shall inherit creeping things, beasts, and worms.

Sirach 10:13
For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination: and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly.

Sirach 10:18
Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for them that are born of a woman.

Sirach 11:2

Sirach 11:10
My son, meddle not with many matters: for if thou meddle much, thou shalt not be innocent; and if thou follow after, thou shalt not obtain, neither shalt thou escape by fleeing.

Sirach 11:12
Again, there is another that is slow, and hath need of help, wanting ability, and full of poverty; yet the eye of the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate,

Sirach 11:17
The gift of the Lord remaineth with the ungodly, and his favour bringeth prosperity for ever.

Sirach 11:21
Marvel not at the works of sinners; but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labour: for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord on the sudden to make a poor man rich.

Sirach 11:26
For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death to reward a man according to his ways.

Sirach 11:28
Judge none blessed before his death: for a man shall be known in his children.

Sirach 11:29
Bring not every man into thine house: for the deceitful man hath many trains.

Sirach 11:30
Like as a partridge taken [and kept] in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and like as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall:

Sirach 11:31

Sirach 11:32
Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled: and a sinful man layeth wait for blood.

Sirach 12:1
When thou wilt do good know to whom thou doest it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits.

Sirach 12:5
Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for [else] thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him.

Sirach 12:6
For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment.

Sirach 12:10
Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.

Sirach 12:15
For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to fall, he will not tarry.

Sirach 13:2
Burden not thyself above thy power while thou livest; and have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? for if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.

Sirach 13:4
If thou be for his profit, he will use thee: but if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.

Sirach 13:5
If thou have any thing, he will live with thee: yea, he will make thee bare, and will not be sorry for it.

Sirach 13:11
Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, and believe not his many words: for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling upon thee will get out thy secrets:

Sirach 13:13
Observe, and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of thy overthrowing: when thou hearest these things, awake in thy sleep.

Sirach 13:14
Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.

Sirach 13:25
The heart of a man changeth his countenance, whether it be for good or evil: and a merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

Sirach 14:3
Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money?

Sirach 14:4
He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously.

Sirach 14:16
Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul; for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.

Sirach 14:17

Sirach 15:8
For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot remember her.

Sirach 15:9
Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.

Sirach 15:10
For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.

Sirach 15:11
Say not thou, It is through the Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth.

Sirach 15:12
Say not thou, He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of the sinful man.

Sirach 15:18
For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:

Sirach 16:3
Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly.

Sirach 16:4
For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall speedily become desolate.

Sirach 16:8
Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride.

Sirach 16:11
And if there be one stiffnecked among the people, it is marvel if he escape unpunished: for mercy and wrath are with him; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure.

Sirach 16:14
Make way for every work of mercy: for every man shall find according to his works.

Sirach 16:17
Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above? I shall not be remembered among so many people: for what is my soul among such an infinite number of creatures?

Sirach 16:21
It is a tempest which no man can see: for the most part of his works are hid.

Sirach 16:22
Who can declare the works of his justice? or who can endure them? for his covenant is afar off, and the trial of all things is in the end.

Sirach 16:27
He garnished his works for ever, and in his hand are the chief of them unto all generations: they neither labour, nor are weary, nor cease from their works.

Sirach 17:9
He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever, that they might declare his works with understanding.

Sirach 17:11
Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.

Sirach 17:16
Every man from his youth is given to evil; neither could they make to themselves fleshy hearts for stony.

Sirach 17:17
For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord's portion:

Sirach 17:26
Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.

Sirach 17:30
For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal.

Sirach 18:1
He that liveth for ever Hath created all things in general.

Sirach 18:3
Who governeth the world with the palm of his hand, and all things obey his will: for he is the King of all, by his power dividing holy things among them from profane.

Sirach 18:6
As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing be taken from them, neither may any thing be put unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.

Sirach 18:33
Be not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt lie in wait for thine own life, and be talked on.

Sirach 19:9
For he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he will hate thee.

Sirach 19:15
Admonish a friend: for many times it is a slander, and believe not every tale.

Sirach 19:28
And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil.

Sirach 20:3
How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance! for so shalt thou escape wilful sin.

Sirach 20:12
There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.

Sirach 20:14
The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it; neither yet of the envious for his necessity: for he looketh to receive many things for one.

Sirach 20:16
The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thank for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me.

Sirach 20:17
How oft, and of how many shall he be laughed to scorn! for he knoweth not aright what it is to have; and it is all one unto him as if he had it not.

Sirach 20:20
A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool's mouth; for he will not speak it in due season.

Sirach 20:23
There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.

Sirach 20:28
He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.

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

Sirach 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.

Sirach 21:8
He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial.

Sirach 22:11
Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: but the life of the fool is worse than death.

Sirach 22:12
Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life.

Sirach 22:21
Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning [to favour.]

Sirach 22:22
If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart.

Sirach 22:23
Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.

Sirach 23:2
Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:

Sirach 23:10
For as a servant that is continually beaten shall not be without a blue mark: so he that sweareth and nameth God continually shall not be faultless.

Sirach 23:12
There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.

Sirach 23:13
Use not thy mouth to intemperate swearing, for therein is the word of sin.

Sirach 23:23
For first, she hath disobeyed the law of the most High; and secondly, she hath trespassed against her own husband; and thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought children by another man.

Sirach 24:20
For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb.

Sirach 24:23
All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.

Sirach 24:24
Faint not to be strong in the Lord; that he may confirm you, cleave unto him: for the Lord Almighty is God alone, and beside him there is no other Saviour.

Sirach 24:29
For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder than the great deep.

Sirach 24:33
I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave it to all ages for ever.

Sirach 24:34
Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all them that seek wisdom.

Sirach 25:4
O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, and for ancient men to know counsel!

Sirach 25:11
But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumination: he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?
