Well versed in doctrine, happiness thou shalt win; trust in the Lord, and find a blessing. (Proverbs 16, 20)
An upright man that goes armed with honest intent, leaves a blessing to his children. (Proverbs 20, 7)
Honest living be thy quest and kindly deeds, life shall be thine, and blessing, and honour. (Proverbs 21, 21)
For every loaf of bread given to the hungry, blessing shall be the reward of kindly hearts. (A renowned victory he wins, that is a bestower of gifts, and living men are the spoils of it.✻ ) (Proverbs 22, 9)
So early abroad, so loudly wishing thy neighbour well? This is curse, not blessing.✻ (Proverbs 27, 14)
Give to the poor, and nothing lack; turn away from their plea, and blessing thou shalt have none. (Proverbs 28, 27)
Never a blessing for sinners; never be it said they lived out their full span of days! Reckless of God’s frown, see, they pass like a shadow, and are gone! (Ecclesiastes 8, 13)
For me, then, mirth! No higher blessing could man attain, here under the sun, than to eat and drink and make merry; nothing else had he to show for all those labours of his, for all that life-time God has given him, here under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 8, 15)
A blessing on the wood that can so procure salvation! (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 7)
PREFACE: Many are the important truths conveyed to us by the law, by the prophets and by those other writers who have followed them. Israel must be given credit for its own philosophical tradition, suited not only to instruct those who talk its language, but to reach, in spoken or written form, the outside world too, and bring it great enlightenment. No wonder if my own grandfather, Jesus, who had devoted himself to the careful study of the law, the prophets, and our other ancestral records, had a mind to put something in writing himself that should bear on this philosophical tradition, to claim the attention of eager students who had already mastered it, and to encourage their observance of the law. I must beg its readers to come well-disposed to their task, and to follow me closely, making allowances for me wherever I seem to have failed in the right marshalling of words, as I pass on wisdom at second hand. Hebrew words lose their force when they are translated into another language; moreover, when the Hebrews read out the law, the prophets, and the other books among themselves, they read them out in a greatly different form. It was in my thirty-eighth year,✻ in the reign of Euergetes, that I went to Egypt and spent some time there. When I found writings preserved there which were of high doctrinal value, it seemed to me right and fitting that I, too, should be at some pains; I would set about translating this book. Learning I gave to the task and long labour, and so brought it to an end; and so I offer the book to all who are ready to apply their minds to it, and learn how a man must frame his conduct if he would live by the divine law. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 0)
well it is, at his last hour, for the man who fears the Lord; his day of death shall be a day of blessing. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 13)
