katapi HOME Ecclesiasticus 32:14 - Interpreting the Law.  Sir.32.14-33.6

32 14 He who fears the Lord will accept his discipline,
and those who rise early to seek him will find favour.
32 15 He who seeks the law will be filled with it,
but the hypocrite will stumble at it.
32 16 Those who fear the Lord will form true judgments,
and like a light they will kindle righteous deeds.
32 17 A sinful man will shun reproof,
and will find a decision according to his liking.

32 18 A man of judgment will not overlook an idea,
and an insolent and proud man will not cower in fear.
32 19 Do nothing without deliberation;
and when you have acted, do not regret it.
32 20 Do not go on a path full of hazards,
and do not stumble over stony ground.
32 21 Do not be overconfident on a smooth way,
32 22 and give good heed to your paths.
32 23 Guard yourself in every act,
for this is the keeping of the commandments.

32 24 He who believes the law gives heed to the commandments,
and he who trusts the Lord will not suffer loss.
