Sirach 18
- 1 He that liveth for ever Hath created all things in general.
- 2 The Lord only is righteous, and there is none other but he,
- 3 Who governeth the world with the palm of his hand, and all things obey his will: for he is the King of all, by his power dividing holy things among them from profane.
- 4 To whom hath he given power to declare his works? and who shall find out his noble acts?
- 5 Who shall number the strength of his majesty? and who shall also tell out his mercies?
- 6 As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing be taken from them, neither may any thing be put unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.
- 7 When a man hath done, then he beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.
- 8 What is man, and whereto serveth he? what is his good, and what is his evil?
- 9 The number of a man’s days at the most are an hundred years.
- 10 As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravelstone in comparison of the sand; so are a thousand years to the days of eternity.
- 11 Therefore is God patient with them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them.
- 12 He saw and perceived their end to be evil; therefore he multiplied his compassion.
- 13 The mercy of man is toward his neighbour; but the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh: he reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a shepherd his flock.
- 14 He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that diligently seek after his judgments.
- 15 My son, blemish not thy good deeds, neither use uncomfortable words when thou givest any thing.
- 16 Shall not the dew asswage the heat? so is a word better than a gift.
- 17 Lo, is not a word better than a gift? but both are with a gracious man.
- 18 A fool will upbraid churlishly, and a gift of the envious consumeth the eyes.
- 19 Learn before thou speak, and use physick or ever thou be sick.
- 20 Before judgment examine thyself, and in the day of visitation thou shalt find mercy.
- 21 Humble thyself before thou be sick, and in the time of sins shew repentance.
- 22 Let nothing hinder thee to pay thy vow in due time, and defer not until death to be justified.
- 23 Before thou prayest, prepare thyself; and be not as one that tempteth the Lord.
- 24 Think upon the wrath that shall be at the end, and the time of vengeance, when he shall turn away his face.
- 25 When thou hast enough, remember the time of hunger: and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need.
- 26 From the morning until the evening the time is changed, and all things are soon done before the Lord.
- 27 A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the day of sinning he will beware of offence: but a fool will not observe time.
- 28 Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise unto him that found her.
- 29 They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables.
- 30 Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.
- 31 If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee.
- 32 Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be tied to the expence thereof.
- 33 Be not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt lie in wait for thine own life, and be talked on.

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.
