In context
3And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of thy mercies and greatness of thy name, From the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, And out of the hands of such as sought after my life, And from the manifold afflictions which I had;
4From the choking of fire on every side, And from the midst of the fire which I kindled not;
— Sirach 51:5 —
6By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous tongue My soul drew near even unto death, My life was near to the hell beneath.
7They compassed me on every side, And there was no man to help me: I looked for the succor of men, but there was none.
