Sirach 32:15-24

  1. He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith: but the hypocrite will be offended thereat.

  2. They that fear the Lord shall find judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light.

  3. A sinful man will not be reproved, but findeth an excuse according to his will.

  4. A man of counsel will be considerate; but a strange and proud man is not daunted with fear, even when of himself he hath done without counsel.

  5. Do nothing without advice; and when thou hast once done, repent not.

  6. Go not in a way wherein thou mayest fall, and stumble not among the stones.

  7. Be not confident in a plain way.

  8. And beware of thine own children.

  9. In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments.

  10. He that believeth in the Lord taketh heed to the commandment; and he that trusteth in him shall fare never the worse.
