25 | In the treasuries of wisdom are wise sayings, but godliness is an abomination to a sinner. | Wisdom & reverence for God. Sir.1.25-30 | |
26 | If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord will supply it for you. | Ἑν θησαυροῖς σοφίας παραβολαὶ ἐπιστήμης, βδέλυγμα δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ θεοσέβεια. | |
27 | For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction, and he delights in fidelity and meekness. | ||
28 | Do not disobey the fear of the Lord; do not approach him with a divided mind. | Οὐ δυνήσεται θυμὸς ἄδικος δικαιωθῆναι· ἡ γὰρ ῥοπὴ τοῦ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ πτῶσις αὐτῷ. | |
29 | Be not a hypocrite in men's sight, and keep watch over your lips. | ἕως καιροῦ ἀνθέξεται μακρόθυμος, καὶ ὕστερον αὐτῷ ἀναδώσει εὐφροσύνη· | |
30 | Do not exalt yourself lest you fall, and thus bring dishonour upon yourself. The Lord will reveal your secrets and cast you down in the midst of the congregation, because you did not come in the fear of the Lord, and your heart was full of deceit. | ἕως καιροῦ κρύψει τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ, καὶ χείλη πολλῶν ἐκδιηγήσεται σύνεσιν αὐτοῦ. |
