Sirach 30:20LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 20 of 27
"So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:"
In context
18Good things that are hidden in a mouth that is shut, are as masses of meat set about a grave.
19What good shall an offering do to an idol? for it can neither eat, nor smell:
20So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:
21He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.
22Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.
