Sirach 5:2LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 2 of 18

"Follow not in thy strength the desires of thy heart:"
Sirach 5:2

In context

1Set not thy heart upon unjust possessions, and say not: I have enough to live on: for it shall be of no service in the time of vengeance and darkness.

2Follow not in thy strength the desires of thy heart:

3And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my deeds? for God will surely take revenge.

4Say not: I have sinned, and whet harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder.
