Sirach 25
- 1 In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.
- 2 Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth.
- 3 If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst thou find any thing in thine age?
- 4 O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, and for ancient men to know counsel!
- 5 O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour.
- 6 Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.
- 7 There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy:
- 8 Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:
- 9 Well is him that hath found prudence, and he that speaketh in the ears of them that will hear:
- 10 O how great is he that findeth wisdom! yet is there none above him that feareth the Lord.
- 11 But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumination: he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?
- 12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love: and faith is the beginning of cleaving unto him.
- 13 Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
- 14 And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.
- 15 There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
- 16 I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.
- 17 The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.
- 18 Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and when he heareth it shall sigh bitterly.
- 19 All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.
- 20 As the climbing up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
- 21 Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.
- 22 A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.
- 23 A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.
- 24 Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.
- 25 Give the water no passage; neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.
- 26 If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go.

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.
