Ecclesiasticus 19 — Chapter 19

Ecclesiasticus · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1A labouring man that is given to drunkenness shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things shall fall by little and little.

2Wine and women will make men of understanding to fall away: and he that cleaveth to harlots will become impudent.

3Moths and worms shall have him to heritage, and a bold man shall be taken away.

4He that is hasty to give credit is lightminded; and he that sinneth shall offend against his own soul.

5Whoso takes pleasure in wickedness shall be condemned: but he that resisteth pleasures crowneth his life.

That is the first paragraph of Ecclesiasticus 19
