Sirach 29
- 1 He that is merciful will lend unto his neighbour; and he that strengtheneth his hand keepeth the commandments.
- 2 Lend to thy neighbour in time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due season.
- 3 Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him, and thou shalt always find the thing that is necessary for thee.
- 4 Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be found, and put them to trouble that helped them.
- 5 Till he hath received, he will kiss a man’s hand; and for his neighbour’s money he will speak submissly: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, and complain of the time.
- 6 If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will pay him disgrace.
- 7 Many therefore have refused to lend for other men’s ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded.
- 8 Yet have thou patience with a man in poor estate, and delay not to shew him mercy.
- 9 Help the poor for the commandment’s sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty.
- 10 Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost.
- 11 Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold.
- 12 Shut up alms in thy storehouses: and it shall deliver thee from all affliction.
- 13 It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear.
- 14 An honest man is surety for his neighbour: but he that is impudent will forsake him.
- 15 Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.
- 16 A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety:
- 17 And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him in danger that delivered him.
- 18 Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.
- 19 A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretiship: and he that undertaketh and followeth other men’s business for gain shall fall into suits.
- 20 Help thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thyself fall not into the same.
- 21 The chief thing for life is water, and bread, and clothing, and an house to cover shame.
- 22 Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man’s house.
- 23 Be it little or much, hold thee contented, that thou hear not the reproach of thy house.
- 24 For it is a miserable life to go from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth.
- 25 Thou shalt entertain, and feast, and have no thanks: moreover thou shalt hear bitter words:
- 26 Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready.
- 27 Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house.
- 28 These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender.

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.
