Sirach 8:2
Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings.
Greek · Brenton
Μὴ ἔριζε μετὰ ἀνθρώπου πλουσίου, μήποτε ἀντιστήσῃ σου τὴν ὁλκήν· πολλους γὰρ ἀπώλεσε τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ καρδίας βασιλέων ἐξέκλινε.
