Sirach 23:27LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 27 of 38
"And he understandeth not that his eye seeth all things, for such a man’s fear driveth from him the fear of God, and the eyes of men fearing him:"
In context
25Every man that passeth beyond his own bed, despising his own soul, and saying: Who seeth me?
26Darkness compasseth me about, and the walls cover me, and no man seeth me: whom do I fear? the most High will not remember my sins.
27And he understandeth not that his eye seeth all things, for such a man’s fear driveth from him the fear of God, and the eyes of men fearing him:
28And he knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are far brighter than the sun, beholding round about all the ways of men, and the bottom of the deep, and looking into the hearts of men, into the most hidden parts.
29For all things were known to the Lord God, before they were created: so also after they were perfected he beholdeth all things.
