- [a] [A son that keeps the
commandment shall [b] escape destruction;
for such an one has fully received it. Let no falsehood be
spoken by the king from the tongue; yea, let no falsehood proceed from
his tongue. The king's tongue is a sword, and not one of flesh; and
whosoever shall be given up to it shall be destroyed: for if his
wrath should be provoked, he destroys men with cords, and devours
men's bones, and burns them up as a flame, so that they are not
even fit to be eaten by the young eagles. My son,
reverence my words, and receive them, and repent.]
[a] Heb. omits to the end.
[b] Lit. be outside of.
[English translation of the Septuagint by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee
Brenton (1807-1862) originally published by Samuel Bagster & Sons,
Ltd., London, 1851]
