Sirach 23:1LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 1 of 38
"O Lord, father, and sovereign ruler of my life, leave me not to their counsel: nor suffer me to fall by them."
In context
1O Lord, father, and sovereign ruler of my life, leave me not to their counsel: nor suffer me to fall by them.
2Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over my heart, that they spare me not in their ignorances, and that their sins may not appear:
3Lest my ignorance increase, and my offences be multiplied, and my sins abound, and I fall before my adversaries, and my enemy rejoice over me?
