Old Testament · Wisdom

Sirach

Chapter 7

10 Be not faint hearted in thy prayer; and neglect not to give alms.

15 Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the most High hath ordained.

17 Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.

32 Give to the most High according as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye.

33 For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much.

34 Do not make a show of thy wisdom when thou art in need of help.
