• Do not be entangled, my son, in too many enterprises. The rich man pays forfeit, chasing what overtake he may not, or fleeing what he may not shun. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 10)

• Error and darkness are sinful man’s birthright; it is by making evil their delight that men grow hardened in evil. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 16)

• Wouldst thou stand there gaping at the doings of sinners? Nay, trust in God, and keep to thy appointed task. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 22)

• Swift, swift comes the blessing that rewards faithful service; in one short hour its fruits ripen. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 24)

• Keep thy favours for the kind-hearted, and let the sinners go without their welcome. (Ecclesiasticus 12, 5)

• All his gain will be doubly thy loss; and so it is that the most High both hates sinners and will bring retribution on their impiety. (Ecclesiasticus 12, 7)

• Who shall pity snake-charmer or beast-tamer if he takes hurt? And he deserves no less, who consorts with rogues and is entangled in their sinful ways. (Ecclesiasticus 12, 13)

• Yet, where there is no sin to smite a man’s conscience, a full purse is a blessing, and poverty itself is a great evil when it goes with a blasphemer’s tongue.✻ (Ecclesiasticus 13, 30)
