Or if wide knowledge be thy ambition, she can inform thee of what is past, make conjecture of the future; she is versed in the subtleties of debate, in the reading of all riddles; marvels and portents she can foretell, and what events time or season will bring. (Wisdom of Solomon 8, 8)
She, too, will bring me immortality; imperishable the name I shall leave to after ages. (Wisdom of Solomon 8, 13)
Humiliated they well might be at those sufferings of theirs, the very gods they worshipped the instruments of their distress; a sight enough to convince them that he was the true God, whom all this while they had rejected! But no, they must needs bring upon themselves the full rigours of justice. (Wisdom of Solomon 12, 27)
Lord of life as of death, thou canst bring us down to the grave and back from the grave; (Wisdom of Solomon 16, 13)
And thy own people, Lord? Them thou didst foster with the food of angels; bread from heaven thou didst set before them, which no labour of theirs had made ready, every taste uniting that could bring content, of every appetite the welcome choice. (Wisdom of Solomon 16, 20)
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)
such piety as shall keep the heart safe and make it acceptable, bring it joy and content. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 18)
favour it shall bring thee in acquittal of thy mother’s guilt.✻ (Ecclesiasticus 3, 16)
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)
instead of courting false hopes, that bring their own abasement. (Ecclesiasticus 13, 10)
Pamper those passions of thine, and joy it will bring, but to thy enemies. (Ecclesiasticus 18, 31)
Redress✻ sought by violence no more content shall bring thee (Ecclesiasticus 20, 2)
