Sirach 19:5LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 5 of 28
"He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil."
In context
3And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number.
4He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised.
5He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil.
6He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned.
7Rehearse not again a wicked and harsh word, and thou shalt not fare the worse.
