| 7 | Do not find fault before you investigate; first consider, and then reprove. | Caution. Sir.11.7-28 | Πρὶν ἐξετάσῃς, μὴ μέμψῃ· νόησον πρῶτον καὶ τότε ἐπιτίμα. |
| 8 | Do not answer before you have heard, nor interrupt a speaker in the midst of his words. | πρὶν ἢ ἀκοῦσαι μὴ ἀποκρίνου καὶ ἐν μέσῳ λόγων μὴ παρεμβάλλου. | |
| 9 | Do not argue about a matter which does not concern you, nor sit with sinners when they judge a case. | περὶ πράγματος, οὗ οὐκ ἔστιν σοι χρεία, μὴ ἔριζε καὶ ἐν κρίσει ἁμαρτωλῶν μὴ συνέδρευε. | |
| 10 | My son, do not busy yourself with many matters; if you multiply activities you will not go unpunished, and if you pursue you will not overtake, and by fleeing you will not escape. | Τέκνον, μὴ περὶ πολλὰ ἔστωσαν αἱ πράξεις σου· ἐὰν πληθύνῃς, οὐκ ἀθῳωθήσῃ· καὶ ἐὰν διώκῃς, οὐ μὴ καταλάβῃς· καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγῃς διαδράς. | |
| 11 | There is a man who works, and toils, and presses on, but is so much the more in want. | ἔστιν κοπιῶν καὶ πονῶν καὶ σπεύδων, καὶ τόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑστερεῖται. | |
| 12 | There is another who is slow and needs help, who lacks strength and abounds in poverty; but the eyes of the Lord look upon him for his good; he lifts him out of his low estate | ἔστιν νωθρὸς προσδεόμενος ἀντιλήμψεως, ὑστερῶν ἰσχύι καὶ πτωχείᾳ περισσεύει· καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπέβλεψαν αὐτῷ εἰς ἀγαθά, καὶ ἀνώρθωσεν αὐτὸν ἐκ ταπεινώσεως αὐτοῦ | |
| 13 | and raises up his head, so that many are amazed at him. | καὶ ἀνύψωσεν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπεθαύμασαν ἐπ' αὐτῷ πολλοί. | |
| 14 | Good things and bad, life and death, poverty and wealth, come from the Lord. | ἀγαθὰ καὶ κακά, ζωὴ καὶ θάνατος, πτωχεία καὶ πλοῦτος παρὰ κυρίου ἐστίν. | |
| 17 | The gift of the Lord endures for those who are godly, and what he approves will have lasting success. | δόσις κυρίου παραμένει εὐσεβέσιν, καὶ ἡ εὐδοκία αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα εὐοδωθήσεται. | |
| 18 | There is a man who is rich through his diligence and self-denial, and this is the reward allotted to him: | ἔστιν πλουτῶν ἀπὸ προσοχῆς καὶ σφιγγίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὕτη ἡ μερὶς τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ· | |
| 19 | when he says, "I have found rest, and now I shall enjoy my goods!" he does not know how much time will pass until he leaves them to others and dies. | ἐν τῷ εἰπεῖν αὐτόν Εὗρον ἀνάπαυσιν καὶ νῦν φάγομαι ἐκ τῶν ἀγαθῶν μου, καὶ οὐκ οἶδεν τίς καιρὸς παρελεύσεται καὶ καταλείψει αὐτὰ ἑτέροις καὶ ἀποθανεῖται. | |
| 20 | Stand by your covenant and attend to it, and grow old in your work. | ||
| 21 | Do not wonder at the works of a sinner, but trust in the Lord and keep at your toil; for it is easy in the sight of the Lord to enrich a poor man quickly and suddenly. | Στῆθι ἐν διαθήκῃ σου καὶ ὁμίλει ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ σου παλαιώθητι. | |
| 22 | The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the godly, and quickly God causes his blessing to flourish. | μὴ θαύμαζε ἐν ἔργοις ἁμαρτωλοῦ, πίστευε δὲ κυρίῳ καὶ ἔμμενε τῷ πόνῳ σου· ὅτι κοῦφον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου διὰ τάχους ἐξάπινα πλουτίσαι πένητα. | |
| 23 | Do not say, "What do I need, and what prosperity could be mine in the future?" | ||
| 24 | Do not say, "I have enough, and what calamity could happen to me in the future?" | εὐλογία κυρίου ἐν μισθῷ εὐσεβοῦς, καὶ ἐν ὥρᾳ ταχινῇ ἀναθάλλει εὐλογίαν αὐτοῦ. | |
| 25 | In the day of prosperity, adversity is forgotten, and in the day of adversity, prosperity is not remembered. | μὴ εἴπῃς Τίς ἐστίν μου χρεία, καὶ τίνα ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἔσται μου τὰ ἀγαθά; | |
| 26 | For it is easy in the sight of the Lord to reward a man on the day of death according to his conduct. | μὴ εἴπῃς Αὐτάρκη μοί ἐστιν, καὶ τί ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν κακωθήσομαι; | |
| 27 | The misery of an hour makes one forget luxury, and at the close of a man's life his deeds will be revealed. | ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀγαθῶν ἀμνησία κακῶν, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακῶν οὐ μνησθήσεται ἀγαθῶν· | |
| 28 | Call no one happy before his death; a man will be known through his children. | ὅτι κοῦφον ἔναντι κυρίου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τελευτῆς ἀποδοῦναι ἀνθρώπῳ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ. | |
