apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:1 @ Set thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:2 @ Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart:

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:4 @ Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:5 @ Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin:

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:6 @ And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:7 @ Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:8 @ Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:5:15 @ Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small.
