Sirach 22:23LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 23 of 33
"As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God."
In context
21As pales set in high places, and plasterings made without cost, will not stand against the face of the wind:
22So also a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool shall not resist against the violence of fear.
23As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God.
24He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment.
25He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship.
