Sirach 20:28LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 28 of 33

"The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing."
Sirach 20:28

In context

26A lie is a foul blot in a man, and yet it will be continually in the mouth of men without discipline.

27A thief is better than a man that is always lying: but both of them shall inherit destruction.

28The manners of lying men are without honour: and their confusion is with them without ceasing.

29A wise man shall advance himself with his words, and a prudent man shall please the great ones.

30He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity.
