Sir 7:1 
Do no evil, so shall no harm come unto thee. 
 
Sir 7:2 
Depart from the unjust, and iniquity shall turn away from 
thee. 
 
Sir 7:3 
My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, and thou 
shalt not reap them sevenfold. 
 
Sir 7:4 
Seek not of the Lord preeminence, neither of the king the 
seat of honour. 
 
Sir 7:5 
justify not thyself before the Lord; and boast not of thy 
wisdom before the king. 
 
Sir 7:6 
Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; 
lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, an 
stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness. 
 
Sir 7:7 
Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou 
shalt not cast thyself down among the people. 
 
Sir 7:8 
Bind not one sin upon another; for in one thou shalt not be 
unpunished. 
 
Sir 7:9 
Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, 
and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it. 
 
Sir 7:10 
Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect 
not to give alms. 
 
Sir 7:11 
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for 
there is one which humbleth and exalteth. 
 
Sir 7:12 
Devise not a lie against thy brother; neither do the like to 
thy friend. 
 
Sir 7:13 
Use not to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is 
not good. 
 
Sir 7:14 
Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not 
much babbling when thou prayest. 
 
Sir 7:15 
Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the most 
High hath ordained. 
 
Sir 7:16 
Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but 
remember that wrath will not tarry long. 
 
Sir 7:17 
Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is 
fire and worms. 
 
Sir 7:18 
Change not a friend for any good by no means; neither a 
faithful brother for the gold of Ophir. 
 
Sir 7:19 
Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above 
gold. 
 
Sir 7:20 
Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil. nor 
the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee. 
 
Sir 7:21 
Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of 
liberty. 
 
Sir 7:22 
Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy 
profit, keep them with thee. 
 
Sir 7:23 
Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck 
from their youth. 
 
Sir 7:24 
Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not 
thyself cheerful toward them. 
 
Sir 7:25 
Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed a 
weighty matter: but give her to a man of understanding. 
 
Sir 7:26 
Hast thou a wife after thy mind? forsake her not: but give 
not thyself over to a light woman. 
 
Sir 7:27 
Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the 
sorrows of thy mother. 
 
Sir 7:28 
Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou 
recompense them the things that they have done for thee? 
 
Sir 7:29 
Fear the Lord with all thy soul, and reverence his priests. 
 
Sir 7:30 
Love him that made thee with all thy strength, and forsake 
not his ministers. 
 
Sir 7:31 
Fear the Lord, and honor the priest; and give him his 
portion, as it is commanded thee; the firstfruits, and the 
trespass offering, and the gift of the shoulders, and the 
sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy 
things. 
 
Sir 7:32 
And stretch thine hand unto the poor, that thy blessing may 
be perfected. 
 
Sir 7:33 
A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living; and for 
the dead detain it not. 
 
Sir 7:34 
Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them that 
mourn. 
 
Sir 7:35 
Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be 
beloved. 
 
Sir 7:36 
Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou 
shalt never do amiss.
