Sirach 37:16LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 16 of 34

"Whose soul is according to thy own soul: and who, when thou shalt stumble in the dark, will be sorry for thee."
Sirach 37:16

In context

14Nor with him that worketh by the year of the finishing of the year, nor with an idle servant of much business: give no heed to these in any matter of counsel.

15But be continually with a holy man, whomsoever thou shalt know to observe the fear of God,

16Whose soul is according to thy own soul: and who, when thou shalt stumble in the dark, will be sorry for thee.

17And establish within thyself a heart of good counsel: for there is no other thing of more worth to thee than it.

18The soul of a holy man discovereth sometimes true things, more than seven watchmen that sit in a high piece to watch.
