Sirach 36:25
Print
A perverse heart will cause grief, but an experienced person will know how to give payback.
If she have a tongue that can cure, and likewise mitigate and shew mercy: her husband is not like other men.
If property is not fenced in, thieves will wander in and help themselves. And if a man has no wife, he is a sighing wanderer;
One with a tortuous heart brings about grief, but an experienced person can turn the tables on him.
A perverse mind causes grief, but a man of experience knows how to pay such a one back.
A perverse mind will cause grief, but a person with experience will pay him back.
A perverse mind will cause grief, but a person with experience will pay him back.
A perverse mind will cause grief, but a person with experience will pay him back.
A perverse mind will cause grief, but a person with experience will pay him back.
Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered; and where there is no wife, a man will wander about and sigh.
Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered; and where there is no wife, a man will wander about and sigh.
Where an hedge is not, the possession shall be ravished away [or broken]; and where a woman is not, a needy man waileth.
