Sirach 21
- 1 My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
- 2 Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.
- 3 All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.
- 4 To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate.
- 5 A prayer out of a poor man’s mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.
- 6 He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart.
- 7 An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth.
- 8 He that buildeth his house with other men’s money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial.
- 9 The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them.
- 10 The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell.
- 11 He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.
- 12 He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
- 13 The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.
- 14 The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
- 15 If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back.
- 16 The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise.
- 17 They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart.
- 18 As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense.
- 19 Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand.
- 20 A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little.
- 21 Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.
- 22 A foolish man’s foot is soon in his neighbour’s house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him.
- 23 A fool will peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without.
- 24 It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
- 25 The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance.
- 26 The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.
- 27 When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul.
- 28 A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth.

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.
