Sirach 41
- 1 O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that hath peace in his possessions!
- 2 To a man that is at rest, and whose ways are prosperous in all things, and that is yet able to take meat!
- 3 O death thy sentence is welcome to the man that is in need, and to him whose strength faileth:
- 4 Who is in a decrepit age, and that is in care about all things, and to the distrustful that loseth patience!
- 5 Fear not the sentence of death. Remember what things have been before thee, and what shall come after thee: this sentence is from the Lord upon all flesh.
- 6 And what shall come upon thee by the good pleasure of the most High? whether ten, or a hundred, or a thousand years.
- 7 For among the dead there is no accusing of life.
- 8 The children of sinners become children of abominations, and they that converse near the houses of the ungodly.
- 9 The inheritance of the children of sinners shall perish, and with their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach.
- 10 The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his sake they are in reproach.
- 11 Woe to you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the most high Lord.
- 12 And if you be born, you shall be born in malediction: and if you die, in malediction shall be your portion.
- 13 All things that are of the earth, shall return into the earth: so the ungodly shall from malediction to destruction.
- 14 The mourning of men is about their body, but the name of the ungodly shall be blotted out.
- 15 Take care of a good name: for this shall continue with thee, more than a thousand treasures precious and great.
- 16 A good life hath its number of days: but a good name shall continue for ever.
- 17 My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both?
- 18 Better is the man that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom.
- 19 Wherefore have a shame of these things I am now going to speak of.
- 20 For it is not good to keep all shamefacedness: and all things do not please all men in opinion.
- 21 Be ashamed of fornication before father and mother: and of a lie before a governor and a man in power:
- 22 Of an offence before a prince, and a judge: of iniquity before a congregation and a people:
- 23 Of injustice before a companion and friend: and in regard to the place where thou dwellest,
- 24 Of theft, and of the truth of God, and the covenant: of leaning with thy elbow over meat, and of deceit in giving and taking:
- 25 Of silence before them that salute thee: of looking upon a harlot: and of turning away thy face from thy kinsman.
- 26 Turn not away thy face from thy neighbour, and of taking away a portion and not restoring.
- 27 Gaze not upon another man's wife, and be not inquisitive after his handmaid, and approach not her bed.
- 28 Be ashamed of upbraiding speeches before friends: and after thou hast given, upbraid not.
