Sirach 19:25LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 25 of 28
"And if he be hindered from sinning for want of power, if he shall find opportunity to do evil, he will do it."
In context
23And there is one that uttereth an exact word telling the truth. There is one that humbleth himself wickedly, and his interior is full of deceit:
24And there is one that submitteth himself exceedingly with a great lowliness: and there is one that casteth down his countenance, and maketh as if he did not see that which is unknown:
25And if he be hindered from sinning for want of power, if he shall find opportunity to do evil, he will do it.
26A man is known by his look, and a wise man, when thou meetest him, is known by his countenance.
27The attire of the body, and the laughter of the teeth, and the gait of the man, shew what he is.
