Sirach 31:23LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 23 of 42

"Watching, and choler, and gripes, are with an intemperate man:"
Sirach 31:23

In context

21And if thou sittest among many, reach not thy hand out first of all: and be not the first to ask for drink.

22How sufficient is a little wine for a man well taught, and in sleeping thou shalt not be uneasy with it, and thou shalt feel no pain.

23Watching, and choler, and gripes, are with an intemperate man:

24Sound and wholesome sleep with a moderate man: he shall sleep till morning, and his soul shall be delighted with him.

25And if thou hast been forced to eat much, arise, go out, and vomit: and it shall refresh thee, and thou shalt not bring sickness upon thy body.
