Better open reproof than the love that gives no sign. (Proverbs 27, 5)
Kindly is her welcome to the poor, her purse ever open to those in need. (Proverbs 31, 20)
Would that thou wert my brother, nursed at my own mother’s breast! Then I could meet thee in the open street and kiss thee, and earn no contemptuous looks.✻ (Song of Solomon 8, 1)
The bright beacon of wisdom, that never burns dim, how readily seen by eyes that long for it, how open to their search! (Wisdom of Solomon 6, 13)
She goes her rounds, to find men worthy of her favours; in the open street unveils that smiling face of hers, comes deliberately to meet them. (Wisdom of Solomon 6, 17)
Such a man, as no other, sins with his eyes open; from the same earthenware he will make you fragile pot or carved effigy as you will. (Wisdom of Solomon 15, 13)
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)
Open hand when the word is Take, shut when the word is Give; such be not thine. (Ecclesiasticus 4, 36)
moreover, thou must open thy hand to the poor; so thy atonement shall be perfect, and perfect thy blessing. (Ecclesiasticus 7, 36)
Never open to any man thy whole heart; an ill requital he may make, by bringing shame on thee. (Ecclesiasticus 8, 22)
Do not keep thy house open to every comer; knaves have many shifts. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 31)
While life still holds, make thy friends good cheer, and to the poor be open-handed as thy means allow thee; (Ecclesiasticus 14, 13)
