Sirach 38:20LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 20 of 39
"In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart."
In context
18And make mourning for him according to his merit for a day, or two, for fear of detraction.
19For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck.
20In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart.
21Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end.
22Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself.
