Sirach 20:18LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 18 of 33
"For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!"
In context
16Today a man lendeth, and tomorrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful.
17A fool shall have no friend, and there shall be no thanks for his good deeds.
18For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!
19For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had.
20The slipping of a false tongue is as one that falleth on the pavement: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
