Sirach 30
Config
1 [1]He that loveth his son will continue to lay stripes upon him, [2]That he may have joy of him in the end.
2 He that chastiseth his son shall have profit of him, And shall glory of him among his acquaintance.
3 [3]He that teacheth his son shall provoke his enemy to jealousy; And before friends he shall rejoice of him.
4 His father dieth, and is as though he had not died; [4]For he hath left one behind him like himself.
5 In his life, he saw and rejoiced in him; And when he died, he sorrowed not:
6 [5]He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, And [6]one to requite kindness to his friends.
7 He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; And his heart will be troubled at every cry.
8 An unbroken horse becometh stubborn; And [7]a son left at large becometh headstrong.
9 Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: Play with him, and he will grieve thee.
10 Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him; And thou shalt gnash thy teeth in the end.
11 Give him no liberty in his youth, [8]And [9]wink not at his follies.
12 [10] [11]Bow down his neck in his youth, And beat him on the sides while he is a child, Lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee; [12]And [13]there shall be sorrow to thy soul.
13 Chastise thy son, and [14]take pains with him, Lest his shameless behaviour be an offence unto thee.
14 [15]BETTER is a poor man, being sound and strong of constitution, Than a rich man that is plagued in his body.
15 Health and a good constitution are better than all gold; And a strong body than wealth without measure.
16 There is no riches better than health of body; And there is no gladness above the joy of the heart.
17 [16]Death is better than a bitter life, [17]And [18]eternal rest than a continual sickness.
18 Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed Are as [19]messes of meat laid upon a grave.
19 What doth an offering profit an idol? For neither shall it [20]eat nor [21]smell: So is he that is afflicted of the Lord,
20 Seeing with his eyes and groaning, [22]As an eunuch embracing a virgin and groaning.
21 [23]GIVE not over thy soul to sorrow; And afflict not thyself in thine own counsel.
22 [24]Gladness of heart is the life of a man; And the joyfulness of a man is length of days.
23 Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart: And remove sorrow far from thee; [25]For sorrow hath destroyed many, And there is no profit therein.
24 [26]Envy and wrath shorten a man's days; And care bringeth old age before the time.
25 [27]A cheerful and good heart Will have a care of his meat and diet.
