Sirach 10:18

¹⁶The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and destroyed them to the foundations of the earth.

¹⁷He took some of them away, and destroyed them, and hath made their memorial to cease from the earth.

— Sirach 10:18 —

¹⁹They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they that love him an honourable plant: they that regard not the law are a dishonourable seed; they that transgress the commandments are a deceivable seed.

²⁰Among brethren he that is chief is honorable; so are they that fear the Lord in his eyes.
