apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:1 @ Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for [thereby] thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:2 @ Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart; that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull [straying alone.]
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:3 @ Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:4 @ A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:5 @ Sweet language will multiply friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:6 @ Be in peace with many: nevertheless have but one counsellor of a thousand.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:7 @ If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:8 @ For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:9 @ And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:10 @ Again, some friend is a companion at the table, and will not continue in the day of thy affliction.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:11 @ But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:12 @ If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:13 @ Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:14 @ A faithfu1l friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:15 @ Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:16 @ A faithful friend is the medicine of life; and they that fear the Lord shall find him.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:17 @ Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:18 @ My son, gather instruction from thy youth up: so shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:19 @ Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:20 @ She is very unpleasant to the unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:21 @ She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:22 @ For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:23 @ Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:24 @ And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:25 @ Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:26 @ Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:27 @ Search, and seek, and she shall be made known unto thee: and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not go.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:28 @ For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:29 @ Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:30 @ For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:31 @ Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:32 @ My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:33 @ If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:34 @ Stand in the multitude of the elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:35 @ Be willing to hear every godly discourse; and let not the parables of understanding escape thee.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:36 @ And if thou seest a man of understanding, get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his door.
apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:6:37 @ Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord and meditate continually in his commandments: he shall establish thine heart, and give thee wisdom at thine owns desire.
