| 18 | Have pity on the city of your sanctuary, Jerusalem, the place of your rest. | Choosing a wife. Sir.36.18-26 | οἰκτίρησον πόλιν ἁγιάσματός σου, Ιερουσαλημ τόπον καταπαύματός σου· |
| 19 | Fill Zion with the celebration of your wondrous deeds, and your temple with your glory. | πλῆσον Σιων ἀρεταλογίας σου καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης σου τὸν λαόν σου. | |
| 20 | Bear witness to those whom you createed in the beginning, and fulfil the prophecies spoken in your name. | δὸς μαρτύριον τοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ κτίσμασίν σου καὶ ἔγειρον προφητείας τὰς ἐπ' ὀνόματί σου· | |
| 21 | Reward those who wait for you, and let your prophets be found trustworthy. | δὸς μισθὸν τοῖς ὑπομένουσίν σε, καὶ οἱ προφῆταί σου ἐμπιστευθήτωσαν. | |
| 22 | Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of your servants, according to the blessing of Aaron for your people, and all who are on the earth will know that you are the Lord, the God of the ages. | εἰσάκουσον, Κύριε, δεήσεως τῶν ἱκετῶν σου κατὰ τὴν εὐλογίαν Ααρων περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου, καὶ γνώσονται πάντες οἱ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι κύριος εἶ ὁ θεὸς τῶν αἰώνων. | |
| 23 | The stomach will take any food, yet one food is better than another. | Πᾶν βρῶμα φάγεται κοιλία, ἔστιν δὲ βρῶμα βρώματος κάλλιον. | |
| 24 | As the palate tastes the kinds of game, so an intelligent mind detects false words. | φάρυγξ γεύεται βρώματα θήρας, οὕτως καρδία συνετὴ λόγους ψευδεῖς. | |
| 25 | A perverse mind will cause grief, but a man of experience will pay him back. | καρδία στρεβλὴ δώσει λύπην, καὶ ἄνθρωπος πολύπειρος ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ. | |
| 26 | A woman will accept any man, but one daughter is better than another. | πάντα ἄρρενα ἐπιδέξεται γυνή, ἔστιν δὲ θυγάτηρ θυγατρὸς κρείσσων. | |
