Sirach 19:9LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 9 of 28
"For he will hearken to thee, and will watch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always."
In context
7Rehearse not again a wicked and harsh word, and thou shalt not fare the worse.
8Tell not thy mind to friend or foe: and if there be a sin with thee, disclose it not.
9For he will hearken to thee, and will watch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always.
10Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee.
11At the hearing of a word the fool is in travail, as a woman groaning. in the bringing forth a child.
