Ecclesiasticus 34
- Ecclesiasticus 34:1 The hopes of a man voyd of vnderstanding are vaine, and false: and dreames lift vp fooles.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:2 Who so regardeth dreames, is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the winde.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:3 The vision of dreames is the resemblance of one thing to another, euen as the likenesse of a face to a face.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:4 Of an vncleane thing, what can be cleansed? and from that thing which is false, what trueth can come?
- Ecclesiasticus 34:5 Diuinations, and soothsayings, and dreames are vaine: and the heart fancieth as a womans heart in trauell.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:6 If they be not sent from the most high in thy visitation, set not thy heart vpon them.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:7 For dreames haue deceiued many, and they haue failed that put their trust in them.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:8 The Law shall be found perfect without lies: and wisedome is perfection to a faithfull mouth.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:9 A man that hath trauailed knoweth many things: and hee that hath much experience, wil declare wisedome.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:10 He that hath no experience, knoweth little: but he that hath trauailed, is full of prudence.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:11 When I trauailed, I saw many things: and I vnderstand more, then I can expresse.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:12 I was oft times in danger of death, yet I was deliuered because of these things.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:13 The spirit of those that feare the Lord shall liue, for their hope is in him that saueth them.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:14 Who so feareth the Lord, shall not feare nor be afraid, for hee is his hope.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:15 Blessed is the soule of him that feareth the Lord: to whom doeth hee looke? and who is his strength?
- Ecclesiasticus 34:16 For the eyes of the Lord are vpon them that loue him, he is their mightie protection, and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a couer from the Sunne at noone, a preseruation from stumbling, and a helpe from falling.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:17 He raiseth vp the soule, and lighteneth the eyes: hee giueth health, life, and blessing.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:18 Hee that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous, and the giftes of vniust men are not accepted.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:19 The most high is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked, neither is he pacified for sinne by the multitude of sacrifices.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:20 Who so bringeth an offering of the goods of the poore, doeth as one that killeth the sonne before his fathers eyes.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:21 The bread of the needie, is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof, is a man of blood.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:22 Hee that taketh away his neighbours liuing, slayeth him: and hee that defraudeth the labourer of his hire, is a bloodshedder.
- Ecclesiasticus 34:23 When one buildeth, and another pulleth downe, what profite haue they then but labour?
- Ecclesiasticus 34:24 When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lorde heare?
- Ecclesiasticus 34:25 He that washeth himselfe after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it againe, what auaileth his washing?
- Ecclesiasticus 34:26 So is it with a man that fasteth for his sinnes, and goeth againe and doeth the same: who will heare his prayer, or what doeth his humbling profit him?
