37:14. Nor with him that worketh by the year of the finishing of the
year, nor with an idle servant of much business: give no heed to these
in any matter of counsel.
37:15. But be continually with a holy man, whomsoever thou shalt know to
observe the fear of God,
37:16. Whose soul is according to thy own soul: and who, when thou shalt
stumble in the dark, will be sorry for thee.
37:17. And establish within thyself a heart of good counsel: for there
is no other thing of more worth to thee than it.
37:18. The soul of a holy man discovereth sometimes true things, more
than seven watchmen that sit in a high place to watch.
37:19. But above all these things pray to the most High, that he may
direct thy way in truth.
37:20. In all thy works let the true word go before thee, and steady
counsel before every action.
37:21. A wicked word shall change the heart: out of which four manner of
things arise, good and evil, life and death: and the tongue is
continually the ruler of them. There is a man that is subtle and a
teacher of many, and yet is unprofitable to his own soul.
37:22. A skilful man hath taught many, and is sweet to his own soul.
37:23. He that speaketh sophistically, is hateful: he shall be destitute
of every thing.
37:24. Grace is not given him from the Lord: for he is deprived of all
wisdom.
37:25. There is a wise man that is wise to his own soul: and the fruit
of his understanding is commendable.
37:26. A wise man instructeth his own people, and the fruits of his
understanding are faithful.
37:27. A wise man shall be filled with blessings, and they that see
shall praise him.
37:28. The life of a man is in the number of his days: but the days of
Israel are innumerable.
37:29. A wise man shall inherit honour among his people, and his name
shall live for ever.
37:30. My son, prove thy soul in thy life: and if it be wicked, give it
no power:
37:31. For all things are not expedient for all, and every kind pleaseth
not every soul.
37:32. Be not greedy in any feasting, and pour not out thyself upon any
meat:
37:33. For in many meats there will be sickness, and greediness will
turn to choler.
37:34. By surfeiting many have perished, but he that is temperate, shall
prolong life.
Ecclesiasticus Chapter 38
Of physicians and medicines: what is to be done in sickness, and how we
are to mourn for the dead. Of the employments of labourers and
artificers.
38:1. Honour the physician for the need thou hast of him: for the most
High hath created him.
38:2. For all healing is from God, and he shall receive gifts of the
king.
38:3. The skill of the physician shall lift up his head, and in the
sight of great men he shall be praised.
