Sirach 5:9
Print
Don’t be blown about by every wind, and don’t take every shortcut. This is how the devious sinner acts.
For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee.
Be certain about what you believe and consistent in what you say. Don't try to please everyone or agree with everything people say.
Do not winnow in every wind, nor walk in every path.
Do not winnow in every wind, or walk along every road.
Do not winnow in every wind, or follow every path.
Do not winnow in every wind, or follow every path.
Do not winnow in every wind, or follow every path.
Do not winnow in every wind or follow every path.
Do not winnow with every wind, nor follow every path: the double-tongued sinner does that.
Do not winnow with every wind, nor follow every path: the double-tongued sinner does that.
Winnow thee not into each wind, and go thou not into each way; for so a sinner is proved in (or with) (a) double tongue. [Not throw thou thee out into each wind, and go thou not into each way; so forsooth a sinner is proved in double tongue.]
