1My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
2Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.
— Sirach 21:3 —
4To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate.
5A prayer out of a poor man’s mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.
