Sirach 31
- 1 Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep.
- 2 Watching care will not let a man slumber, as a sore disease breaketh sleep,
- 3 The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicates.
- 4 The poor laboureth in his poor estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
- 5 He that loveth gold shall not be justified, and he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof.
- 6 Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their destruction was present.
- 7 It is a stumblingblock unto them that sacrifice unto it, and every fool shall be taken therewith.
- 8 Blessed is the rich that is found without blemish, and hath not gone after gold.
- 9 Who is he? and we will call him blessed: for wonderful things hath he done among his people.
- 10 Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect? then let him glory. Who might offend, and hath not offended? or done evil, and hath not done it?
- 11 His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall declare his alms.
- 12 If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and say not, There is much meat on it.
- 13 Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing: and what is created more wicked than an eye? therefore it weepeth upon every occasion.
- 14 Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish.
- 15 Judge not thy neighbour by thyself: and be discreet in every point.
- 16 Eat as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour note, lest thou be hated.
- 17 Leave off first for manners’ sake; and be not unsatiable, lest thou offend.
- 18 When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all.
- 19 A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed.
- 20 Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man.
- 21 And if thou hast been forced to eat, arise, go forth, vomit, and thou shalt have rest.
- 22 My son, hear me, and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee: in all thy works be quick, so shall there no sickness come unto thee.
- 23 Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed.
- 24 But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall not be doubted of.
- 25 Shew not thy valiantness in wine; for wine hath destroyed many.
- 26 The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkenness.
- 27 Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad.
- 28 Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:
- 29 But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling.
- 30 Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds.
- 31 Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth: give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him to drink.

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.
