Sirach 26:28
Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by: and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.
Greek · Brenton
Επὶ δυσὶ λελύπηται ἡ καρδία μου, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ τρίτῳ θυμός μοι ἐπῆλθεν· ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ὑστερῶν διʼ ἔνδειαν, καὶ ἄνδρες συνετοὶ ἐὰν σκυβαλισθῶσιν· ἐπανάγων ἀπὸ δικαιοσύνης ἐπὶ ἁμαρτίαν, ὁ Κύριος ἑτοιμάσει εἰς ῥομφαίαν αὐτόν.
