41:17. My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid,
and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both?
41:18. Better is the man that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth
his wisdom.
41:19. Wherefore have a shame of these things I am now going to speak
of.
Have a shame, etc... That is to say, be ashamed of doing any of these
things, which I am now going to mention; for though sometimes
shamefacedness is not to be indulged: yet it is often good and
necessary: as in the following cases.
41:20. For it is not good to keep all shamefacedness: and all things do
not please all men in opinion.
41:21. Be ashamed of fornication before father and mother: and of a lie
before a governor and a man in power:
41:22. Of an offence before a prince, and a judge: of iniquity before a
congregation and a people:
41:23. Of injustice before a companion and friend: and in regard to the
place where thou dwellest,
41:24. Of theft, and of the truth of God, and the covenant: of leaning
with thy elbow over meat, and of deceit in giving and taking:
41:25. Of silence before them that salute thee: of looking upon a
harlot: and of turning away thy face from thy kinsman.
41:26. Turn not away thy face from thy neighbour, and of taking away a
portion and not restoring.
41:27. Gaze not upon another man's wife, and be not inquisitive after
his handmaid, and approach not her bed.
41:28. Be ashamed of upbraiding speeches before friends: and after thou
hast given, upbraid not.
Ecclesiasticus Chapter 42
Of what things we ought not to be ashamed. Cautions with regard to
women. The works and greatness of God.
42:1. Repeat not the word which thou hast heard, and disclose not the
thing that is secret; so shalt thou be truly without confusion, and
shalt find favour before all men: be not ashamed of any of these things,
and accept no person to sin thereby:
42:2. Of the law of the most High, and of his covenant, and of judgment
to justify the ungodly:
42:3. Of the affair of companions and travellers, and of the gift of the
inheritance of friends:
42:4. Of exactness of balance and weights, of getting much or little:
42:5. Of the corruption of buying, and of merchants, and of much
correction of children, and to make the side of a wicked slave to bleed.
42:6. Sure keeping is good over a wicked wife.
42:7. Where there are many hands, shut up, and deliver all things in
number, and weight: and put all in writing that thou givest out or
receivest in.
42:8. Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the aged,
that are judged by young men: and thou shalt be well instructed in all
things, and well approved in the sight of all men living.
42:9. The father waketh for the daughter when no man knoweth, and the
care for her taketh away his sleep, when she is young, lest she pass
away the flower of her age, and when she is married, lest she should be
hateful:
42:10. In her virginity, lest she should be corrupted, and be found with
child in her father's house: and having a husband, lest she should
misbehave herself, or at the least become barren.
