Sir
CHAPTER 7
7:1
Do no evil, so shall no harm come unto thee.
7:2
Depart from the unjust, and iniquity shall turn away from thee.
7:3
My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold.
7:4
Seek not of the Lord preeminence, neither of the king the seat of honour.
7:5
justify not thyself before the Lord; and boast not of thy wisdom before the king.
7:6
Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, an stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness.
7:7
Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people.
7:8
Bind not one sin upon another; for in one thou shalt not be unpunished.
7:9
Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it.
7:10
Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms.
7:11
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.
7:12
Devise not a lie against thy brother; neither do the like to thy friend.
7:13
Use not to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good.
7:14
Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest.
7:15
Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the most High hath ordained.
7:16
Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but remember that wrath will not tarry long.
7:17
Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.
7:18
Change not a friend for any good by no means; neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.
7:19
Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold.
7:20
Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil, nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee.
7:21
Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of liberty.
7:22
Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.
7:23
Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their youth.
7:24
Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thyself cheerful toward them.
7:25
Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed a weighty matter: but give her to a man of understanding.
7:26
Hast thou a wife after thy mind? forsake her not: but give not thyself over to a light woman.
7:27
Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother.
7:28
Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee?
7:29
Fear the Lord with all thy soul, and reverence his priests.
7:30
Love him that made thee with all thy strength, and forsake not his ministers.
7:31
Fear the Lord, and honor the priest; and give him his portion, as it is commanded thee; the firstfruits, and the trespass offering, and the gift of the shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things.
7:32
And stretch thine hand unto the poor, that thy blessing may be perfected.
7:33
A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living; and for the dead detain it not.
7:34
Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them that mourn.
7:35
Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be beloved.
7:36
Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss.
