Sirach 51:7
Print
People surrounded me on every side, and no one helped; I looked for assistance from human beings, and there was none.
From the depth of the belly of hell, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from a slanderous tongue:
enemies surrounded me everywhere. I looked for someone to help me, but there was no one there.
I turned every way, but there was no one to help; I looked for support but there was none.
I was surrounded on every side and there was no one to help me. I looked for human assistance but there was none.
They surrounded me on every side, and there was no one to help me; I looked for human assistance, and there was none.
They surrounded me on every side, and there was no one to help me; I looked for human assistance, and there was none.
They surrounded me on every side, and there was no one to help me; I looked for human assistance, and there was none.
They surrounded me on every side, and there was no one to help me. I looked for human assistance, and there was none.
They surrounded me on every side, and there was no one to help me; I looked for the assistance of men, and there was none.
They surrounded me on every side, and there was no one to help me; I looked for the assistance of men, and there was none.
They compassed me on each side, and none was that helped (me); I was beholding into (or for) the help of men, and none was. [They compassed me on each side, and there was not that would help; beholding I was to (or for) the help of men, and there was not.]
