Ecclesiasticus 29

  1. Ecclesiasticus 29:1 Hee that is mercifull, will lende vnto his neighbour, and hee that strengthneth his hande, keepeth the Commandements.
  2. Ecclesiasticus 29:2 Lend to thy neighbour in time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour againe in due season.
  3. Ecclesiasticus 29:3 Keepe thy word & deale faithfully with him, and thou shalt alwaies finde the thing that is necessary for thee.
  4. Ecclesiasticus 29:4 Many when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be found, and put them to trouble that helped them.
  5. Ecclesiasticus 29:5 Till he hath receiued, he will kisse a mans hand: and for his neighbours money he will speake submissely: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and returne words of griefe, and complaine of the time.
  6. Ecclesiasticus 29:6 If he preuaile, he shall hardly receiue the halfe, and he will count as if he had found it: if not; he hath depriued him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings, and raylings: and for honour he will pay him disgrace.
  7. Ecclesiasticus 29:7 Many therefore haue refused to lend for other mens ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded.
  8. Ecclesiasticus 29:8 Yet haue thou patience with a man in poore estate, and delay not to shew him mercy.
  9. Ecclesiasticus 29:9 Helpe the poore for the commandements sake, and turne him not away because of his pouertie.
  10. Ecclesiasticus 29:10 Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust vnder a stone to be lost.
  11. Ecclesiasticus 29:11 Lay vp thy treasure according to the commandements of the most high, and it shall bring thee more profite then golde.
  12. Ecclesiasticus 29:12 Shut vp almes in thy storehouses: and it shall deliuer thee from all affliction.
  13. Ecclesiasticus 29:13 It shal fight for thee against thine enemies, better then a mightie shield and strong speare.
  14. Ecclesiasticus 29:14 An honest man is suretie for his neighbour: but hee that is impudent, will forsake him.
  15. Ecclesiasticus 29:15 Forget not the friendship of thy suretie: for hee hath giuen his life for thee.
  16. Ecclesiasticus 29:16 A sinner will ouerthrow the good estate of his suretie:
  17. Ecclesiasticus 29:17 And he that is of an vnthankfull minde, will leaue him in that deliuered him.
  18. Ecclesiasticus 29:18 Suretiship hath vndone many of good estate, and shaked them as a waue of the Sea: mightie men hath it driuen from their houses, so that they wandred among strange nations.
  19. Ecclesiasticus 29:19 A wicked man transgressing the commandements of the Lord, shall fall into suretiship: and hee that vndertaketh and followeth other mens businesse for gaine, shall fall into suits.
  20. Ecclesiasticus 29:20 Helpe thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thy selfe fall not into the same.
  21. Ecclesiasticus 29:21 The chiefe thing for life is water and bread, and clothing, and an house to couer shame.
  22. Ecclesiasticus 29:22 Better is the life of a poore man in a meane cottage, then delicate fare in another mans house.
  23. Ecclesiasticus 29:23 Be it little or much, holde thee contented, that thou heare not the reproch of thy house.
  24. Ecclesiasticus 29:24 For it is a miserable life to goe from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth.
  25. Ecclesiasticus 29:25 Thou shalt entertaine and feast, and haue no thankes: moreouer, thou shalt heare bitter words.
  26. Ecclesiasticus 29:26 Come thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feede me of that thou hast ready.
  27. Ecclesiasticus 29:27 Giue place thou stranger to an honourable man, my brother commeth to be lodged, and I haue neede of mine house.
  28. Ecclesiasticus 29:28 These things are grieuous to a man of vnderstanding: the vpbraiding of house-roome, and reproching of the lender.
