Sirach 25:1-2
Good News Translation
People Who Deserve Praise
25 There are three things in which I take special delight—things that are beautiful to the Lord and people alike:[a]
brothers who get along with each other,
neighbors who are friends,
and a married couple who are happy together.
2 There are three kinds of people I cannot stand, whose behavior I find highly offensive:
poor people who are arrogant,
rich people who lie,
and foolish old men who commit adultery.
Footnotes
- Sirach 25:1 Some ancient translations There are...alike; Greek I was made beautiful in three ways and I stood before the Lord and people in beauty.
