Sirach 22
- 1 A slothful man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace.
- 2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: every man that takes it up will shake his hand.
- 3 An evilnurtured man is the dishonour of his father that begat him: and a foolish daughter is born to his loss.
- 4 A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her father’s heaviness.
- 5 She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her.
- 6 A tale out of season is as musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.
- 7 Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.
- 8 He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?
- 9 If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.
- 10 But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.
- 11 Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: but the life of the fool is worse than death.
- 12 Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life.
- 13 Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.
- 14 What is heavier than lead? and what is the name thereof, but a fool?
- 15 Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear, than a man without understanding.
- 16 As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.
- 17 A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plaistering on the wall of a gallery.
- 18 Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.
- 19 He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her knowledge.
- 20 Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship.
- 21 Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning to favour.
- 22 If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart.
- 23 Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.
- 24 As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood.
- 25 I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; neither will I hide myself from him.
- 26 And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that heareth it will beware of him.
- 27 Who shall set a watch before my mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 3.1)
2023-07-19English (en)
This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.
Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.
