Who is in more perilous case than the fool himself? The man who lays claim to wisdom. (Proverbs 26, 12)
Who is in more perilous case than the fool himself? The man who speaks too soon.✻ (Proverbs 29, 20)
as if thou wouldst prove to us how strong is thy protection, though the sailor have little skill. (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 4)
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)
Swift falls his anger and perilous, when the time for vengeance is ripe. (Ecclesiasticus 5, 9)
but if thou forsake God thou shalt encounter it, a fire that burns thee and will not be quenched, an assault more perilous than assault of lion or pard. (Ecclesiasticus 28, 27)
This people of mine has cut itself off from the gently-flowing waters of Siloe, to welcome Rasin and the son of Romelia instead;✻ (Isaiah 8, 6)
None other was there, to lend his skill; guide to point out the way, pilot to warn him of danger. (Isaiah 40, 14)
Go and visit that sanctuary of mine at Silo, where of old my power rested; look well, what havoc I have made of it, to punish the misdeeds of Israel, that was my people too. (Jeremiah 7, 12)
this house, shrine of my name and centre of your hopes, this home I gave to you and to your fathers, shall fare as Silo fared. (Jeremiah 7, 14)
Perilously they shall fare as one that walks by night in slippery places; falter and fall they must; punishment awaits them, the Lord says, my audit-year is at hand. (Jeremiah 23, 12)
or this sanctuary, too, shall be deserted as Silo, and this city shall be an accursed name, all the world over. (Jeremiah 26, 6)
