Sirach 21:9LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 9 of 31
"He that buildeth his house at other men’s charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter."
In context
7He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart.
8He that is mighty by a bold tongue is known afar off, but a wise man knoweth to slip by him.
9He that buildeth his house at other men’s charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter.
10The congregation of sinners is like tow heaped together, and the end of them is a flame of fire.
11The way of sinners is made plain with stones, and in their end is hell, and darkness, and pains.
