Sirach 28
- 1 He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance.
- 2 Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou prayest.
- 3 One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon from the Lord?
- 4 He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins?
- 5 If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins?
- 6 Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.
- 7 Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.
- 8 Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins: for a furious man will kindle strife,
- 9 A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among them that be at peace.
- 10 As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: and as a man’s strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.
- 11 An hasty contention kindleth a fire: and an hasty fighting sheddeth blood.
- 12 If thou blow the spark, it shall burn: if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out of thy mouth.
- 13 Curse the whisperer and doubletongued: for such have destroyed many that were at peace.
- 14 A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, and driven them from nation to nation: strong cities hath it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men.
- 15 A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, and deprived them of their labours.
- 16 Whoso hearkeneth unto it shall never find rest, and never dwell quietly.
- 17 The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones.
- 18 Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.
- 19 Well is he that is defended through the venom thereof; who hath not drawn the yoke thereof, nor hath been bound in her bands.
- 20 For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, and the bands thereof are bands of brass.
- 21 The death thereof is an evil death, the grave were better than it.
- 22 It shall not have rule over them that fear God, neither shall they be burned with the flame thereof.
- 23 Such as forsake the Lord shall fall into it; and it shall burn in them, and not be quenched; it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and devour them as a leopard.
- 24 Look that thou hedge thy possession about with thorns, and bind up thy silver and gold,
- 25 And weigh thy words in a balance, and make a door and bar for thy mouth.
- 26 Beware thou slide not by it, lest thou fall before him that lieth in wait.

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.
