Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall have much labour, nor that his life is short: but striveth to excel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things.
Wisdom of Solomon 15:11
Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.
Wisdom of Solomon 15:14
And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.
Wisdom of Solomon 15:19
Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.
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 16:8
And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:
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 16:19
And at another time it burneth even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an unjust land.
Wisdom of Solomon 16:22
But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies.
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 16:26
That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.
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 17:7
As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.
Wisdom of Solomon 17:16
So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, shut up in a prison without iron bars,
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 17:20
For the whole world shined with clear light, and none were hindered in their labour:
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 18:5
And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.
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 18:14
For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course,
Wisdom of Solomon 18:20
Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, and there was a destruction of the multitude in the wilderness: but the wrath endured not long.
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 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 19:10
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 19:18
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 19:20
The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.
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 1:13

Sirach 2:10
Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?
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 2:17
They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight,
Sirach 3:8
Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.
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 3:12
My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
Sirach 3:13
And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.

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 4:9
Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the oppressor; and be not fainthearted when thou sittest in judgment.
Sirach 4:16

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 5:7

Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.
Sirach 5:10
Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same.
Sirach 5:13
Honour and shame is in talk: and the tongue of man is his fall.

Sirach 5:15
Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small.
Sirach 6:2
Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart; that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull [straying alone.]
Sirach 6:6

Sirach 8:11
Rise not up [in anger] at the presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words
Sirach 8:16
Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee.
Sirach 9:5

Sirach 9:7
Look not round about thee in the streets of the city, neither wander thou in the solitary place thereof.
Sirach 9:9

If he have need of thee, he will deceive thee, and smile upon thee, and put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and say, What wantest thou?
Sirach 13:8
Beware that thou be not deceived and brought down in thy jollity.
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 13:12
But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not spare to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison.
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 13:19
As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness: so the rich eat up the poor.
Sirach 13:24

Sirach 15:5
She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.
Sirach 15:9

Sirach 15:14
He himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his counsel;
Sirach 15:18
For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:
Sirach 16:1
Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, neither delight in ungodly sons.
Sirach 16:2
Though they multiply, rejoice not in them, except the fear of the Lord be with them.
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 16:6
In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire.
Sirach 16:7
He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness.
Sirach 16:9

Sirach 16:10
Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
