Sirach 32
Config
1 Have they made thee [1]ruler of a feast? Be not lifted up, Be thou among them as one of them; [2]Take thought for them, and so sit down.
2 And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, That thou mayest be gladdened on their account, And receive [3]a crown for thy well ordering.
3 [4]Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound knowledge; And hinder not music.
4 Pour not out talk where there is a performance of music, And [5]display not thy wisdom out of season.
5 As a signet of carbuncle in a setting of gold, [6] So is a concert of music in a banquet of wine.
6 As a signet of emerald in a work of gold, So is a strain of music with pleasant wine.
7 [7]Speak, young man, if there be need of thee; Yet scarcely if thou be twice asked.
8 [8]Sum up thy speech, many things in few words; Be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.
9 [9] If thou be among great men, [10]behave not as their equal; And when another is speaking, make not much babbling.
10 Before thunder speedeth lightning; And before a shamefast man favour shall go forth.
11 Rise up betimes, and be not the last; Get thee home quickly and loiter not:
12 There take thy pastime, and do what is in thy heart; And sin not by proud speech:
13 And [11]for these things bless him that made thee, And giveth thee to drink freely of his good things.
14 He that feareth the Lord [12]will receive his discipline; And [13]they that seek him early shall find favour.
15 He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith: But [14]the hypocrite shall stumble thereat.
16 They that fear the Lord shall find judgement, And shall [15]kindle righteous acts as a light.
17 A sinful man shunneth reproof, And [16]will find a judgement according to his will.
18 A MAN of counsel will not neglect a thought; A strange and proud man will not crouch in fear, Even [17]after he hath done a thing by himself without counsel.
19 [18]Do nothing without counsel; And when thou hast once done, repent not.
20 [19]Go not in a way of conflict; And stumble not in stony places.
21 Be not confident in a [20][21]smooth way.
22 And [22]beware of thine own children.
23 [23]In every work trust thine own soul; For this is [24]the keeping of the commandments.
24 [25]He that believeth the law giveth heed to the commandment; And [26]he that trusteth in the Lord shall suffer no loss.
