Sirach 13:16LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 16 of 32

"Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin."
Sirach 13:16

In context

14Affect not to speak with him as an equal: and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets.

15His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison.

16Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin.

17When thou hearest those things, see as it were in sleep, and thou shalt awake.

18Love God all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.
