4:18. For she walketh with him in temptation, and at the first she
chooseth him.
In temptation, etc... The meaning is, that before wisdom will choose any
for her favourite, she will try them by leading them through
contradictions, afflictions, and temptations, the usual noviceship of
the children of God.
4:19. She will bring upon him fear and dread and trial: and she will
scourge him with the affliction of her discipline, till she try him by
her laws, and trust his soul.
4:20. Then she will strengthen him, and make a straight way to him, and
give him joy,
4:21. And will disclose her secrets to him, and will heap upon him
treasures of knowledge and understanding of justice.
4:22. But if he go astray, she will forsake him, and deliver him into
the hands of his enemy.
4:23. Son, observe the time, and fly from evil.
4:24. For thy soul be not ashamed to say the truth.
4:25. For there is a shame that bringeth sin, and there is a shame that
bringeth glory and grace.
4:26. Accept no person against thy own person, nor against thy soul a
lie.
4:27. Reverence not thy neighbour in his fall:
4:28. And refrain not to speak in the time of salvation. Hide not thy
wisdom in her beauty.
4:29. For by the tongue wisdom is discerned: and understanding, and
knowledge, and learning by the word of the wise, and steadfastness in
the works of justice.
4:30. In nowise speak against the truth, but be ashamed of the lie of
thy ignorance.
4:31. Be not ashamed to confess thy sins, but submit not thyself to
every man for sin.
4:32. Resist not against the face of the mighty, and do not strive
against the stream of the river.
4:33. Strive for justice for thy soul, and even unto death fight for
justice, and God will overthrow thy enemies for thee.
4:34. Be not hasty in thy tongue: and slack and remiss in thy works.
4:35. Be not as a lion in thy house, terrifying them of thy household,
and oppressing them that are under thee.
4:36. Let not thy hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou
shouldst give.
Ecclesiasticus Chapter 5
We must not presume of our wealth or strength: nor of the mercy of God,
to go on in sin: we must be steadfast in virtue and truth.
5:1. Set not thy heart upon unjust possessions, and say not: I have
enough to live on: for it shall be of no service in the time of
vengeance and darkness.
5:2. Follow not in thy strength the desires of thy heart:
5:3. And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my
deeds? for God will surely take revenge.
5:4. Say not: I have sinned, and what harm hath befallen me? for the
most High is a patient rewarder.
5:5. Be not without fear about sin forgiven, and add not sin upon sin:
5:6. And say not: The mercy of the Lord is great, he will have mercy on
the multitude of my sins.
